I would like to add some thing on obstacle. Other than those mentioned ones there are a few more obstacles like dogs(not dead ones), cows and other animals. For a better escape route we have to know the characteristics of the animal,observe them, i mean the way it is going to behave after seeing an vehicle.

1) Animals like dogs, sheep's turn around and go back the way they came when they see and oncoming vehicle i.e. if a dog is coming from left and is in the mid of the road, they see a vehicle, they normally will go back, so better to take your bike towards the way they are facing initially i.e. right of the dog

2)If there is a cow or a bull, they wont bother even if a truck is coming , they will continue their way. So if they are crossing from left to right, try to cross the road from their back side even if there is ample space in front of them, its safe.

3)If there is a hen or duck on the road they will follow a random pattern so be careful on those cases, but they generally behave like dogs.

This are things which i observed,Hope it helps. If anybody has observed anything more specific please share.
