Target fixation can happen on any road. Any curve taken too fast can cause a crash.

There are two places that can catch out the unwary. Going north, 90 degree right turn just before the golfcart crossing. And that left turn in the middle of the esses sometime after that, decreasing radius and if remember right also a bit off camber. No biggie if you know the road, fun actually, but can surprise new riders.

But I know what you mean, it's a nice road with some nice twisties but it doesn't seem like the type of road to cause as many rider down threads as it does.

I wouldn't want to ride that road at night too much. Couple years ago, at my old job, used to take it on my way home from work around 1am each night. Saw lots of opposums, racoons and other critters on the road. Needless to say, I took it very easy always watching for those glaring eyes and darker/lighter spots indicating road kill.
