Depends on what else is in the area.

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...

Except what the standard said was "At least two Lanes in each direction"
to be a interstate. So the median where the drainage ditch runs would
be to the left of Shoulder # 1 or Right of Shoulder #2 depending on your
orientation. I would guess when Nathan said landing on the center he
meant between the 2 lanes not in the median.

I know what everybody thinks. I just keep quiet about it.

Why do you assume that anybody in this newsgroup knows what most people
think?

One more abuse of Federal funding by General Aviation!

OK, let's say you use auto gas in your plane and your state allows you
to get a rebate of the highway tax for the gas you put in your plane.
If you land your plane on the highway, do you have to return the rebate?

Wouldn't that be rebate the rebate. :-)

It would be possible, but the wind kicked up by even an SUV would make things
very difficult.

Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor.
It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.
