is there not another route you can take that skips the 70mph zone? and is that a 70mph speed limit? or flow of traffic, because if its a speed limit you will still be getting run over.

Flow of traffic is not to bad, people are somewhat okay with 70 (bikes) and it's barley a mile, it's the other one I am worried about. I will measure it today on my way to college.
