I guess I'd use the sidewalks as needed especially around tricky intersections, but as a navigational option, not because I fear traffic. The big thing to remember is that every transition between sidewalk, road, driveway and crosswalk is an opportunity to be surprised in a bad way. Use extreme caution on each transition point.
