PFL - Why into a field ?

I was just wondering. My PFLs are now at a point I'm happy with and I can put the plane down where I want quite accurately. It's always a field though.

In real life why wouldn't you go for a road ? There's quite a few motorways near where I fly, and given the choice I think I'd do much less damage coming into land on that tarmac than into a potentially boggy field.

Why do we always choose fields instead of motorways \ roads ? Is it simply the worry of disturbing traffic on the motorway ? I reckon if I was tanking it @70 mph and I had a cessna come down near me, I'd move out of it's ways and allow it room to land without much risk.
