2010/6/2 John F. Eldredge <[email protected]>: inadvisable and/or illegal, because crossing to the other side means having to judge the speed of multiple lanes of traffic. All too often, people turn out not to be as good at that as they think they are. I live near a section of Interstate that has four lanes going one way, and five lanes going the other way.
+1, I was once urged to cross the motorway here: http://werbefotos.com/luftbild/albums/a04/BAB_Kreuz_Stuttgart_Gr_enver_nderung.sized.jpg due to hitchhiking and some strange dude that let me off in the middle of the Autobahn (A8 Stuttgart-München, which is almost always densely populated), and I wouldn't advise this to nobody. There are only 3+3 lanes, but drivers approaching at 200km/h and more (quite loud actually), so even if you see them in the distance, the next second they already advanced 60 metres. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
