You can run with headphones, but at least try and minimize their dangers. Don't use ones with high isolation, like in-ear canal earphones, because you'll hear very little of the outside world. Plus, a lot of models produce lots of microphonics (cable noise), which will drive you positively batty during a run. Turn the volume down so that you can at least hear a car horn. And be sure to run on the left side of the road, where you'll be able to see cars coming towards you and move out of the way if there's ever any danger. You aren't a bicycle trying to fit in with traffic. A lot of people prefer to run with music. That's fine, and not a problem in a park or similar area. But you need to be extra careful on public roads when you're willfully dampening one of your senses.
