Are you traveling the whole length, or a particular section?
Most of my experience has been with the southern part (Natchez, to up north of Jackson)
1.Watch your speed, as 50 is the limit in most parts, less than that in others.
2. Get you a guide pamphlet and stop at the historical sites on the Trace. Some are better than others.
3. Try to detour off the Trace and eat some home cooking (Fried chicken) at Mr D's Old Country Store near Lorman, MS. We eat there whenever we are nearby. You can find plenty of internet info and youtube videos about this place.

4. Watch for wildlife, especially in the evening and at night. Many deer cross the road and will ruin your trip quickly, especially if on a motorcycle.
5. Watch for bicyclists, as this is a favorite road for them too.
