I'm waiting for a new development to go in around the school. Hopefully they'll tie the trail system into the backside of that and I'll be able to avoid the school. That could cut 2 miles off if I wanted.
This is a good example where collisions (or fatalities) per mile of road is not a constant but the important factor is the number of cars encountered choosing the route.
