I moved from a moderately large town to a rural area ten years ago. One of the first things I noticed and enjoyed was the amount of traffic and the different pace of traffic. The roads are rarely packed with drivers. Traffic jams are uncommon. I love the 25MPH and 35MPH speed limits in town. Very rarely an individuals drive unsafely on the 55MPH zoned roads or act like they just hopped off the interstate.
The only disadvantage is there is not an interstate within 20 miles, because that puts a lot of strain n the roads by large trucks. The secondary road evidently serves as a bypass that connects my city with a larger town. That town has the big box stores which I like to shop at so I often make that trip. The advantages outweigh the negatives. In the town I once lived in it was convenient to hop on the interstate and cross town. I know several people who were killed in automobile accidents taking that route. As an older person the interstates are dangerous for me because it is hard for me to merge in traffic. I should never get on an interstate to drive.
I do not remember the last time I was caught in a traffic jam here in my town. In Macon one road I traveled was parallel to an interstate an it was not uncommon to see cars backed up for miles. There is merging even on secondary roads in the Macon area. In Athens a main road going through the town involves merging.
Yes, I will have to admit that one of the things I like best about my new town is the fact the driving conditions are most suited to my age and driving abilities. It is much safer and enjoyable to drive on the back roads of Northeast Georgia than it is in the larger cities and on the interstates of Georgia.
