There probably isn't a comprehensive list. One thing you can do it go to DOT websites for the state in question and look at traffic volume. I have seen recommendations based on those numbers. Low volume is considered less than 2,000 vehicles a day, moderate is ~5,000 vehicles a day. You have to use some common sense. I have seen roads with low traffic counts, but all the traffic was heavy trucks due to the location.
