There are roads like this that millions of little kids walk down to and from school every damn day without thinking twice about it--with even less of a shoulder than this, and with a higher speed limit no doubt. Walking an extra thirty feet is not a big fucking deal, and I pity the kid whose parent treats him or her like a hothouse flower instead of a human being.
