I loved those shoulders! The rumble strip is over towards the lane and I had quite a bit of room on the shoulder to ride worry-free. The speed limit was 70 on that road, but I was never bothered by it because I knew that I had my "safety" zone on the edge. If someone ventured over, hopefully the rumble strips would alert them before they plowed into me. Perhaps it was a false sense of security, but I'd much rather ride on a road like that even with the high speed limit, than ride on a two lane road with no shoulder. I didn't like having to cross them when I went to the convenience store, or to make a left, but luckily I didn't have to ride over them more than twice.
