If only that were the choice to be made.

I unbelievably travel a pair of roads that are exactly the opposite.
Road 1 is narrow, no shoulder, no bike lane, and has a 45 MPH (ignored) speed suggestion.
Road 2 is wide, with a generous shoulder, dedicated bike lane, and the speed limit is 30 MPH.

It's as if the traffic geniuses mixed up the signage.
