It forces you out on to a very busy road for a brief period. I have had more than one close call in that section.
On the other hand, I've had the roads all to myself since the cold would send anyone other than he very intrepid scurrying for shelter even during the day. In some instances, the city seemed like a ghost town. But you're not wrong.
