If it is curves that bother you (or your passengers), just zoom in far enough to see them in detail. Or even go to Streetview level.
There are a whole range of difficulties. Some seem to fear anything that is not Interstate. In southern Oregon, US199 to Crescent City gets mixed opinions. It is a Federal #, but the California part along the Smith River is too curvy for some people. For other's that fine, but OR227 north of Shady Grove is too much.
In S Oregon you also have a lot of Forest Service and BLM logging roads. Most are gravel, but some are paved. The most notorious is Bear Camp from Galice to Agness (or Grant's Pass to Gold Beach). Shuttle drivers for river rafters drive it fast, with trailers full of raft. But unprepared people have died on it.
