Abstract: A connected compact subset $E$ of $mathbb{R}^N$ is said to be a strict Whitney set if there exists a real-valued $C^1$ function $f$ on $mathbb{R}^N$ with $ablaf{|}_{E}equiv0$ such that $f$ is constant on no non-empty relatively open subsets of $E$. We prove that each self-similar arc of Hausdorff dimension $s>1$ in $mathbb{R}^N$ is a strict Whitney set with criticality $s$. We also study a special kind of self-similar arcs, which we call "regular" self-similar arcs. We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for a regular self-similar arc $Lambda$ to be a $t$-quasi-arc, and for the Hausdorff measure function on $Lambda$ to be a strict Whitney function. We prove that if a regular self-similar arc has "minimal corner angle" $het{a}_{min}>0$, then it is a 1-quasi-arc and hence its Hausdorff measure function is a strict Whitney function. We provide an example of a one-parameter family of regular self-similar arcs with various features. For some value of the parameter $au$, the Hausdorff measure function of the self-similar arc is a strict Whitney function on the arc, and hence the self-similar arc is an $s$-quasi-arc, where $s$ is the Hausdorff dimension of the arc. For each $t_{0}ge1$, there is a value of $au$ such that the corresponding self-similar arc is a $t$-quasi-arc for each $t>t_0$, but it is not a $t_0$-quasi-arc. For each $t_0>1$, there is a value of $au$ such that the corresponding self-similar arc is a $t_0$-quasi-arc, but it is a $t$-quasi-arc for no $tin[1,t_0)$.
