Unless there was a place next to a curb and your slide would go out in the grass area not back in the direction of where vehicles could hit it.
So I guess you could say I vote mostly no unless your in a campground.

That was one of the qualifications for a floorplan for us from the very beginning when we were searching for a travel trailer. The unit had to be 100% functional with all slides IN. We wanted this specifically because we knew we would be stopping for quick overnights on long journeys and I didn't want to have to deploy slides to go to the bathroom on the road or to catch some sleep over night.
We have been known to deploy the dinette slide in our TT when we would stop for a meal. That's because with the slide in, there was no support under the slide floor. I would always make a specific effort to park somewhere the slide would not impede traffic or risk getting hit by another vehicle. If we were overnighting like in a parking lot or rest stop, all slides were in. I would deploy the slide for a little bit in the morning so we could eat breakfast, then bring it back in and get on the road.
With the Motorhome, the slide is intended to be occupied in transit, so it can support us. Now, no slides are deployed unless we are in a campground.
