Oz, what you quoted proves my point.

Maybe some of you haven't seen that kind of road? This is a road too narrow for vehicles to pass, so there is an occasional wide area in the road specifically designed to solve that problem. I saw them a lot in rural areas when I was growing up.

The presence of turnouts makes all the difference in the cyclist's safety. That the OP specifically said "at the turnout" proves she is thinking of the cyclist's safety.

Discussion of the dangers of riding near the shoulder clearly meets some sort of emotional need, but it has nothing to do with the actual road conditions in the situation the OP described.
