I knew a guy who was walking down & on the side of a highway years ago late on a Friday night and got killed.
I see people walking & riding bikes with traffic to their backs and i think it's idiotic.
All it takes is a person messing with their phone or something to swirve that slight second and take them out...

very tragic, sad story
a very good buddy of mine lost his mom on the side of the highway
she was a nurse and was helping injured from an accident
someone swerved to miss the cars slowing down to look at the accident and hit her
she passed helping others but was very tough on my buddy as she was actually on the way to the airport to come visit him and his family when it all happened

During the summer I run outside on the streets. I don't use the sidewalk too often because they are usually in questionable shape, you have to avoid other people and objects, and yes the asphalt is better on my knees. However, I try to run in industrial areas, and off main thoroughfares and ALWAYS run AGAINST traffic so I can see what's coming at me.. And yes, I know accidents happen all the time so I stay alert.. I'll also tell you this- once somebody threw a coke bottle at me while I was running so I turned around and sprinted after the car... Guess what???? They had to stop for a light. Now guess who got a nice sized roadside landscape boulder dropped on their trunk and rear window? So before any of you fat lazy bastards think about messing with joggers, remember 2 things- will I ever see this person again, and make sure it's not me
I am staying on the sidewalk. Period. I don't care how bad the sidewalks are. Maybe the streets were safer back in the day. But today we have drivers texting, talking, fiddling with their coffee, read their GPS, reading their emails, etc, etc.
No. I am not going to roll the dice and hope that some distracted driver will see me in time. IMO.
