%N a(n) = n^5 + n + 1.

%C For n>1 these are odd composite numbers: all terms a(n) are divisible by number h(n) = GCD(n^5+n+1,(n+1)^5+n) = GCD(a(n), a(n+1)-2) = (n*(n+1)+1)*GCD(n*(n+1)-1, 5) where 1 < h(n) < a(n) for all n>1. Sequence of corresponding numbers h(n) for n>1: 35, 13, 21, 31, 43, 285, ... For example, a(7) = 16815 is divisible by number h(7) = (7*(7+1)+1)*GCD(7*(7+1)-1, 5) = 57*GCD(55, 5) = 57*5 = 285.

%C We name a set of k sequences IOPR_k(n) = {a_1(n) = a(n), a_2(n) = a(n) + 2, ..., a_k(n) = a(n) + 2*(k - 1)} as infinite nonprime k-lane road if a arithmetic function a(n) defined by arithmetic operations produces for all n > h (h = a small integer >= 0) odd terms such that all values a(n), a(n) + 2, ..., a(n) + 2*(k - 1) are composites. We say sequences a_1(n) = a(n), a_2(n) = a(n) + 2, ..., a_k(n) = a(n) + 2*(k - 1) are k-th lanes of set IOPR_k(n).

%C For example, sequence A016945(n) = 6*n + 3 = IOPR_1(n) for k=1.

%C This sequence a(n) is 2nd lane of set of sequences IOPR_2(n) = {a_1(n) = A271208(n) = a(n) - 2 = n^5 + n - 1, a_2(n) = a(n) = n^5 + n + 1}.

%C If p = prime > 2 of the form 3m - 1 from A003627 then sets of 2 sequences {n^p + n - 1, n^p + n + 1} = IOPR_2(n) for all p.

%C Also sets of 2 sequences {n^k + n - 1, n^k + n + 1} = IOPR_2(n) for all k>2 from A016789.

%C In general, if k>2 is number of the form 3m - 1 from A016789 then sequences a(n) = n^k + n - 1 and b(n) = a(n) + 2 = n^k + n + 1 produces for all n > 1 odd composite terms. The terms of sequence a(n) = n^k + n - 1 are divisible for all n > 1 by number h(n) = GCD(n^k+n-1,(n-1)^k+n) = GCD(a(n), a(n-1)+2) = (n*(n-1)+1)*GCD(n*(n-1)-1, k) where 1 < h(n) < a(n) for all n>1. The terms of sequence b(n) = a(n) + 2 = n^k + n + 1 are divisible for all n > 1 by number h(n) = GCD(n^k+n+1,(n+1)^k+n) = GCD(a(n), a(n+1)-2) = (n*(n+1)+1)*GCD(n*(n+1)-1, k) where 1 < h(n) < a(n) for all n>1.

%C Are there any sets of sequences IOPR_k(n) for k>2? For example, like set of sequences {A161945(n), A161945(n) + 2, A161945(n) + 4} is not an infinite nonprime 3-lane road because sequence A161945 is not defined by arithmetic operations.
