Nev,
““If not, then each and every road (wider than 16 Amos), even your quiet upstate road has a status of Reshus haRabim.”
Yes, your point? ”
My point is, it seems to be kind of an Am Ha’aratzos regarding RT 9. As some are under the assumption that there is a concept of a Reshus haRabim as a real “busy” street ans then there is a R”H of 16 Amos.
In reality, it is either you need 600K and if its anything of the less – even with 550K passing – it won’t have a criteria of a Reshus haRabim , or any public (mefulash) street wider than 16 Amos is R”H no matter how quiet remote – So why again is “RT 9” any diff than any other neighborhood Streets..?
