That trail system is crap for any useful transportation. You can't get from Western North Carolina to Eastern Tennessee without going halfway across the state in the wrong direction, up through Virginia, and all the way through Kentucky, only to be deposited at the wrong end of the state you were trying to get to.
What should have been a 40 mile trip turned into a thousand.

Not how it works. If the lanes are wider then people drive faster. Speed limits are a suggestion at best.

I swear there are absolutely zero dedicated bike trails in this country. If you want to ride your bike away from the roads you'll just be going 15km/h max as you weave through pedestrians, dogs and whatever else.

Because if it’s literally just a road then it shouldn’t be labled as a bike trail. some hick hauling ass in a beater probably isn’t going to pay any mind to the occasional sign saying that the random road in the boonies they’re driving on is also a bike trail.

It might look a bit boring, but it's safer than a lot of rural roads. In the UK you have twisting and turning single lane roads lined with trees or hedgerows that block sight all whilst having a 60mph speed limit. Simply driving on those is terrifying, heaven forbid cycling.

Add more space between the rumble strip and the grass and that's ideal. The dedicated 'bike trails' are just glorified sidewalks anyway.
