I would drive a car through Budiegh and be safe but on 2 wheels, it can be different as a car comes at you on the wrong side of the road driven by the elderly resident who has no idea you are on the same road, Then, due to narrow pavement, the pedestrians just step into the road to avoid another pedestrian.
The phone Zombies also come to the party and just walk out across the road.
This is now the main reason i use roads on weekdays for bikes when half the people are at work and no kids on phones.
It keeps me a lot safer if i avoid the weekend riding.
