At night I'd land on I-80 or I-380 (our two "local" interstate highways) without a second thought. During the day, I'd aim for a field, presuming there was one nearby. As an FYI, I did a quick search on interstate width requirements and found the following document... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interst...hway_standards So a two-lane interstate like I-80 in rural areas would be: 12 ft (lane #1) 12 ft (lane #2) 10 ft (shoulder #1) 4 ft (shoulder #2) -------------------------------- 38ft So it would be possible to put a light single down on in the center and not even hit a mile marker or reflector post on the sides... -Nathan |
