I ride three times a week on MMPs usually 20 miles each time.
I feel safe there.
I have the safety equipment that others have mentioned (helmet, bright clothes, front/rear blinking lights, rear-view mirror, GoPro,..)
FL says that overtakers need to give you three feet of room when passing. The law also says cyclists can take the whole lane.
There are posts and newspaper articles about close calls and crashes but the number of incidents is very small compared to miles ridden.
Practice defensive riding and enjoy.
