What are the restrictions on pedestrians?
What about situations in which there is no reasonable alternate route? Do they provide bike lanes or paths parallel to such roads?
Such a law would be a huge problem in San Diego County, where neighborhoods are linked only by prime arterials and freeways.
In Maryland the reality is cyclists and pedestrians are banned from the interstate system. They are just about the only roads with a speed limit over 50 MPH, excepting just a few State roads like Rte. 50/301 which crosses the Chesapeake Bay Bridge (no bikes allowed, but you can call ahead and get a lift across). You can walk or ride on any other road.
