Glad you brought this up, hammerhead. The other day I was driving a busy Ave and suddenly came upon a runner facing me as he ran toward me on my side of the street (with headphones), while I was trying to share the road with a bicycle, who was following the rules of the road. The bike had to swerve left to avoid the runner and I had to swerve left to avoid both of them and darn near crossed into oncoming traffic.
I know it might be easier to run on pavement, but could you possibly pick a less busy thoroughfare? There are neighborhood streets that get less traffic and jogging trails available, too.
