Of all the off airport places to put a plane down a public road would be my last choice. They normally have power lines running parallel, sign posts, lane dividers, snow markers and other (show stopping) obstructions you can’t see till it’s to late. If you have to put it down it’s much better in any field, beach, shallow river bed, farm or logging track or into bushes . Off course I know in Alaska they do it all the time and I believe it may be legal, but most of us don’t live there.
