inadvisable and/or illegal, because crossing to the other side means
having to judge the speed of multiple lanes of traffic.  All too
often, people turn out not to be as good at that as they think they
are.  I live near a section of Interstate that has four lanes going
one way, and five lanes going the other way.


+1, I was once urged to cross the motorway here:

due to hitchhiking and some strange dude that let me off in the middle
of the Autobahn (A8 Stuttgart-München, which is almost always densely
populated), and I wouldn't advise this to nobody. There are only 3+3
lanes, but drivers approaching at 200km/h and more (quite loud
actually), so even if you see them in the distance, the next second
they already advanced 60 metres.

cheers,
Martin
