Quite the suburban hellscape, eh? Many of these 50+ mph stroads forgo sidewalks and attempt to ban pedestrians (or even bikers sometimes).

also my two cents: it's dangerous as all heck doing anything but driving on those roads. I almost got hit by a friend of mine who was texting and driving while I was running about 30 miles from there out in the country.
