A good place to avoid on Z-Day???
It would be a bad idea to show up at my place un-announced/not knowing the proper challenge and password after the SHTF. If any ZRT members plan on coming my way, be sure your patches or other far recognition symbols are clearly visible. FYI the white paint marks on my street are range indicators.
I think avoiding any place where people would tend to gather would be a good thing. If I can't get out of the city immediately, I would want to stay at my place until things settled down a enough to get my family out. I would lock and barricade my doors during the day and conduct reconnaissance at night. Unless of course the Zeds are photo sensitive, in which case I would do the opposite.
We need to avoid:
1) Natural lines of drift - population centers, stores, malls, if you need to get water from a natural source over watch it for a few days if possible to be sure it is clear.
2) Hill/roof tops - moving around in these ares will make it easier to detect your presence when you are trying to stay hidden.
3) Bridges - will force you into a funnel which will limit your ability to break contact if needed. Unless of course you think you can swim carrying everything you brought with you.
4) Major roads and intersections - you will need to utilize these features to help you navigate out of the city. You would want to use them as "hand rails" or a "back stop" though.
I am certain there is more to add but, I can't think anymore tonight.
