Two Roads Diverged in a Yellow Wood, and I Took the One With Traffic
While I am driving, I see a lot of folks running alongside major roads -- roads with heavy traffic and no sidewalks -- and usually these roads are adjacent to suburban developments: neighborhoods riddled with winding, low volume 25 mph. streets that would be perfectly safe and pleasant to jog on, and I always wonder why people choose to run on the highway instead of the alternative . . . and so if you are one of these people who run on the shoulder of a busy road, instead of opting for something more serene, can you please explain why?

Not that I live in one of those neighborhoods, but most only allow for a quick 2 mike run even with all those streets. So they are either stupid or need to run longer distances.
I've run on narrow NE roads where the speed limit is 35-45 mph. It's not the safest but the only way for me to run 8+ miles.
The really stupid people run with traffic which you should never do.
maybe if you need to get 8+ miles away, you should drive there.
