@cainmark asks:
Q6. Anyone else have trouble navigating from city to country (urban to rural) & the reverse? On the road, w/ no paths available, when the shoulders disappear.
My closest calls have all been on the "outskirts" of a city, just past suburbs, before fully becoming country.
Anyone have ideas on how to traffic engineer that to stop being a problem? Speed limits don't help when people constantly speed over them.

A6. My experience across the U.S. has been that basically every suburban/exurban transition features the worst/most dangerous bicycling conditions. The main time I've ever seen an exception is when there's somehow a magical bike path that keeps on going.
I think the problem is that it costs money to put in a proper shoulder, and in the burbs everything is more expensive because it's inherently spread out.
