I was on roads with traffic most of the time. Not heavy traffic. I have lights as bright as cars on both ends, that helps. it's easier to notice my bike in the dark than in the day. I know that is not a sure thing that everyone will see me, but it helps.
I do agree less traffic is better, I took some different routes to avoid heavy traffic and a couple of bad intersections.
