Here is a link to story about landing on the freeway

My question is what do most people think about landing on a freeway?

In the Los Angeles area the freeways are almost always too crowded to
provide a successful landing site. There are always the issues of
roadside poles and power lines when considering a landing on a road,
which can be more problematic than automobile traffic.

Given the scenario of the story you cite, freeways in Minnesota at
night may be a reasonable choice. A forced night landing is not a
happy prospect even with night-vision goggles.

An old pilot once told me, when forced to land at night, turn on the
landing light, and when you get close to the ground if you don't like
what you see, turn it off. :-(
