I'm probably missing something obvious, but what does distance from a highway ramp have to do with a bank being robbable?

Easier it get out and list among other vehicles before police can respond.

Surely it would be better to get to a multi-storey car park? Can't be followed by helicopter. Lots of vehicles to transfer to, or stash to money in to return to later.

A highway seems a great way to get caught. Limited exits. Very visible.

Cops could just block the entrance and exit.

You need the highway section of the mission to shoot the cops while the NPC is driving.
