The only thing with that is, too light traffic can be less safe than heavy traffic, because it's less predictable. Someone isn't going to blast around a corner out of nowhere going 90kph not expecting something in the road if they're boxed in by other visible motor traffic.
Worst case scenario, there's a sidewalk on Balcombe, and it's probably very infrequently used because lol car cities, and you might be able to treat it (cautiously!) like a bike lane.
