David,
I can hear approaching traffic just fine with earbud type headphones,
with the volume loud enough to hear the programming over the ambient wind
noise. I might even go so far as to say I can hear approaching traffic
better with the earbuds in place. Depending on ambient conditions, wind
speed and direction.
Use a little judgment and accept the risk.
