Route Description
SR 308 begins as Luoto Road at a diamond interchange with SR 3 east of Naval Base Kitsap at Bangor. The highway travels east through wooded land, intersecting several minor roads until the roadway turns northeast and crosses over Liberty Bay into the unincorporated community of Keyport. Within Keyport, SR 308 passes the Naval Undersea Museum and serves as the main thoroughfare through the community before it ends at the main entrance to the Naval Undersea Warfare Center, continuing east as Strom Avenue into the base.
Every year, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) conducts a series of surveys on its highways in the state to measure traffic volume. This is expressed in terms of average annual daily traffic (AADT), which is a measure of traffic volume for any average day of the year. In 2011, WSDOT calculated that the busiest section of the highway was between SR 3 and Liberty Bay, serving 11,000 vehicles, while the least busy section was the bridge over Liberty Bay, serving 6,300 vehicles.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“By whatever means it is accomplished, the prime business of a play is to arouse the passions of its audience so that by the route of passion may be opened up new relationships between a man and men, and between men and Man. Drama is akin to the other inventions of man in that it ought to help us to know more, and not merely to spend our feelings.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
“As they are not seen on their way down the streams, it is thought by fishermen that they never return, but waste away and die, clinging to rocks and stumps of trees for an indefinite period; a tragic feature in the scenery of the river bottoms worthy to be remembered with Shakespeare’s description of the sea-floor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
