Bicycles on motorways is insanity. Bicycles on sidewalks makes sense.

Looking at that road on google maps street view, I would be terrified to bike on that Northampton Blvd and crossing it at night would be just crazy. Like crossing an interstate highway. It looks like the sidewalk is probably not the kind that would be very busy, so I would be on the sidewalk there, for sure. But in the street view I see a children's "ghost bike" next to a gas station sign. That means a kid got run down and killed there, on the sidewalk, probably crossing Baker at the crosswalk. Every road is different. Where there are a lot of pedestrians, you look for a bike lane. If there's no bike lane and a lot of pedestrians, and a lot of traffic, get off your bike lock it up and walk.
