[...] > Frugal (aka "cheap") New Englanders also apparently don't consider road shoulders to be a useful thing to fund with their taxes, either. The roads I grew up riding in central New York state all had lovely 1-2 foot wide shoulders, with a 3-5 foot dirt patch beyond that before you got off into grass/trees/cliffs/etc. And that was a county road, not even a marked highway. Here in central MA, you're lucky if the trees and phone poles are more than a foot or two away from the right-hand edge of the driving lane... <sigh> I miss riding a bike -- I don't dare around here...
