TheWoWDBThe reason why he tells you to keep clear of the main road is because of Worgen Rushers, level 13-14 elites who very frequently run towards Forsaken Forward Command, as he explains in the next quest.

Description
I'm not gonna lie to you, {name}. What I'm about to ask you to do is suicide. Chance of failure is about 95%. All communication from Dreadwatch Outpost has been severed. With the worgen constantly rushing us we have no means by which to get to Dreadwatch to check on our soldiers. I need you to head south to the outpost and check on our soldiers. I'll keep in contact through the Forsaken communication device - F.C.D. - from here on out. KEEP CLEAR OF THE MAIN ROAD.
