QOTD: When running on the roads and sidewalks are not available, which of the two options do you do: Run with traffic or against traffic? Tell us why you picked the option you picked as well.
ATTQOTD: Where I run sidewalks are few and far between so running on the road happens the majority of the time. I always run against traffic. Two main reasons for this, the first being I feel like I have a better chance of not getting hit as I can move out of the way of a car thats not paying attention. The second is I am almost sure it's a law to run against traffic.
ATTQOTD: Always, always, always against traffic UNLESS I am cresting a blind hill. Then I will cross over till I can see the other side again. My reasoning is drivers can be distracted for a myriad of reasons and car wins against runner 100% of the time.
What Mickey Momma said pretty much. I always run against traffic, I rarely use sidewalks even when available. Too many uneven sidewalks in the north to trust not tripping on something. But I like to see what's coming at me to have a chance to get out of the way.
