And winding/rolling terrain (i.e. many blind turns). We have that here, one of three routes between Eureka and Arcata; it's called Old Arcata Road, and is the second least safe route. I've ridden it a few times, but while it's a beautiful ride, the narrow shoulder and lots of fast traffic makes it a little too nerve-wracking for a regular commute.
