@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.

Another aspect is that some busy fringe roads really aren't designed well / at all. There are a few roads I use that are impossible to pass a cyclist on due to being very windy and cresty (and double lines for many kilometers, so even when safe to pass, technically illegal). Other drivers get very annoyed when I refuse to unsafely pass cyclists on these roads.
Such roads shouldn't be so busy, traffic should be funnelled to better roads.

@ascentale @cainmark @bikenite A6 #BikeNite And obviously the usual things about the roads they are funnelled to should be less busy by diverting lots of traffic to active options.

So the kernel of answer here is: more better infrastructure will make the bad fringe roads less busy and then those roads will be better for everyone.
