I like the fact that you use the literal road and travel as a metaphor for responsibility. Sal clearly is not happy with his stable, boring life with a wife and a job, having to put food on the table and taking care of himself and his woman, and so the idea of just taking off and going somewhere unknown in the perfect way for him to run away from his duties. He doesn’t know where he will go next or who he will encounter, but he knows that he doesn’t have anyone to worry about but himself, which gives him comfort and eases his mind.
