lethal events are often the result of multiple things going wrong fast. some decisions seem harmless at the time, but then, something happens, which, if known in advance, you'd make a different decision. it's never a mistake to make the right decision. such as riding with traffic on the sidewalk (in that situation) but that road sounds like it's worth avoiding. are their any crossings with lights?
does not sound like you were over reacting to almost dying
