Sharp curves .. would they not be obvious from the map it self .. one 
node on the sharp corner compared to many for a 'smooth' corner.'Masked' 
corners where some object hides on coming traffic (e.g. building, 
vegetation)  are also a hazard.

These hazards exist for all kinds of traffic and not indicated on maps. 
Usually people are expected to be aware of their surroundings, not to 
rely on other aids as to what is visually obvious? :-\
