Just found this about roads http://rules.Utah.gov/publicat/code/r914/r914-002.htm

Cary would pin my ears back about the liability my poor family has occurred over the vast number of roads I have landed on. Most of that was in a different time and a different legal outlook. The last place I worked, the boss of the spray operation is also the county road commissioner. When safety truly dictates, make a precautionary on anybody's road. When the police car or fire truck pulls up ask, "I'm having some weather/maintenance/whatever problem. Is it OK if I land here." If you only fly in Utah, get the insurance and paperwork or do a high and low recon to determine non-use by auto in the time frame you need. It doesn't take long to take a leak.

This takes long range planning but, your families' legal liability is your net worth. If you're poor like me and have signed everything worth anything over to the kids anyway, you don't have to sweat the big lawsuit. I think lawyers tend to follow the money.

Unlike Tim (QMDV) I tend to shy away from landing with the flow of traffic on I-80.

All a matter of picking your battles, and where. Landed in Mina, NV for a burger and shake a couple days ago and drove the airplane down the road and city streets to park. Shut down and got out of the airplane as two Nevada state troopers drove by on Hwy 95. They waved, I waved back, and Reno Chick and I walked across the road to the burger shack. That was about the extent of it.

wow, thats a much more complex document than the rules for landing on roads in Australia. Our document basically goes "if you land on a road not as a result as an engine failure, we will hang you by your balls from a tree and you will never fly again"

An airplane on a road is no worse than a combine. Some of those heads are up to 36 feet and some farmers think its no big deal to drive their machines down a state highway between fields. In ND both the airplane and combine are treated the same; you get a ticket for oversize vehicle on the road.

And take the guns you said you lost away, again.
