Although I wouldn't discourage any state from building a bike trail on the edge of a road, it is dangerous, and I rarely use them. People walking or riding small bikes can use them but; to be safe, they must stop at every cross street and look over their left shoulder for cars turning into them. On the other hand a bike trail along a highway is very desirable. State laws should require trails next to highways whenever an expansion takes place. That is where I would want to live.
