No sidewalks, no bike lanes, no other infrastructure, trees and rocky terrain elsewhere, rolling hills, sharp turns, cars coming out of nowhere.

Is it possible to bike safely and ensure the safety of both the cyclist and driver, or does one need to find an alternative route? What if this is the closest path to a destination? I don't even think this is safe for drivers.

If it "feels unsafe for drivers" then the drivers are feeling it too, and they're going slow. Places like that it's usually one car at a time, and there's plenty of room to pass. The biggest threat is anti-cyclist drivers whose ego gets wounded by just knowing someone exists on a bicycle. Those people may intentionally run you down or at least try to run you off the road. But normal people, generally, should not be a problem. But I wouldn't push my luck by riding out at night on st patrick's day or something.

ride to the right (or left if youre a bong/jap/hongkongian) and check your mirrors for niggas attempting to overtake (and go further out to let them)

Which is why these roads are slowly going away as they get more developed. In 1956, 50,000 people died on the nation's highways, in 1986 only 46,000 people did, despite tripling the volume. That was because twisty little backroad highways were closed, replaced, or upgraded with newer standards of highways, and 60% of those happened in rural areas.

In almost all cases these days upgraded roads will have some sort of bike lane or sidewalk.

I ride shitty roads like this most of the time, you just need to be aware of incoming traffic both ways, thats why I use TriEye™

no but seriously, you need to be aware of cars coming from behind at all times, so you can predict and go off the road when 2 cars going opposite directions intersect
thats the dangerous situation in riding tight 2 lane roads
