Interesting and very annoying. Glad the sand made it easier. I wouldn't ride in that ten inch strip either.
Most of the I-84 (Oregon) and I-90 (Montana) corridor that I rode had rumble strips that were near the edge of the auto / truck traffic lane, and that left about 6' of shoulder open for cycling without too much trouble.
That's more what I'm used to. My neighborhood drains onto a 55-mph four-lane (formerly 45mph two-lane, much nicer before) with narrow rumble strips and car-sized breakdown lanes. Every ride starts with that.
