The obvious response is "only if you ride on the road like you do on the track".
To a large degree, road riding is as dangerous as you want to make it. On the track, by contrast, you're (presumably) riding at 90-100% of your abilities (110% sometimes?  . |
That would be true if you only had to count with yourself and maybe up to other 20 bikes on the road. But that's not what happend has on the road you have to consider countless other vehicles and obstacles that appear in your way.
