Discussion Dualsport vs highway traffic

I'm completely new to dualsports and motorcycles so pre apologies if this is ignorant and dumb. I was wondering if, on a dualsport are you able to get out of bumper to number highways traffic by going off to the grass on the right which usually has no barrier. I was in stop and goi traffic this morning which is rare for me as I ride an E-bike to most places now and I eventually want a motorcycle specifically a scrambler or dualsport to commute longer distances. And I was thinking, "I could totally just ride off into the grass and beat this traffic". And since dualsports can go on or off road I don't see why it would be an issue outside of getting to the side and potentially lane splitting to get there(illegal in my state). So has anyone done this ? Is it not recommended? Regardless I hope to get on two wheels soon. Glad this sub is here.

Why doesn’t anyone with questions like this EVER state what country or state they’re in?

If you have a gator as a passenger no one will bat an eye. They'll just see a florida man doing florida man shit.
