>>1653104In the last month I've locked in 3 overnight trips and logged many miles and I've come to the conclusion that the main way to reduce odds of getting hit is route selection. And remember even if the Highway has a wide shoulder it probably isn't worth it. Highways are miserable fucking places you don't want to be. Can't listen to earpods because of road noise anyway. I'd rather pick a two-lane with no shoulder and 1 car / 10 min than a highway with a wide shoulder and 1 car / 30 sec.
Pick side roads, always.
Other Pro-Tip (pic related): hitch a ride in/out/around of the busy metro areas, or as much as you can take advantage of. Find out in advance what options are available.
