No way, there are no rules of the road, whoever bleeped before, that's the road. Cheaper and "safer" by taxi. We even went to the beach by taxi, since they stand near each hotel, and you can bargain indefinitely.

1. It must be borne in mind that in India there is a left-hand traffic.
2. In Calangute, the traffic is such that in order to cross a street 5 m wide, you have to wait a long time or cross on a cheeky one, raising your hand and making a sign to the driver to let him through. In this case, both rows stop. With this movement, Calangute is a small village, from the farthest point to the beach 12-15 minutes. We walked to neighboring beaches, from the central staircase to the end of Baga beach - 15 minutes, to Candolim a little longer. 25 -30 minutes walk to Newton supermarket.

3. Baga-Calangute-Candolim - three villages have grown together, you won't understand where one ends and the other begins. With all this, it is impossible to get lost there. If you are going to go far on a moped, buy a card, it costs 150-200 rupees. Keep in mind that you will not enter the beach with a moped, you will need to leave it in front of the beach. No one will tell you if a moped will or will not. I asked the local taxi driver who drove us if mopeds were stolen. He replied that they were stealing.
4. If we were going to another beach, for example, Arambol, then the taxi driver waited all day, but was near the car, did not go far.

It makes no sense to steal mopeds, because everyone knows each other approximately and the owner will find him sooner or later.
Moreover, if they start stealing, the business will die, everything is purely based on trust.
If it’s completely scary, you can buy a padlock on a steel bar from us and tie it to any nearby structure.
in fact - a GPS navigator in your mobile will help you and ask the way constantly from passers-by or fellow countrymen - the language will bring you to Kyiv.
The main thing - if possible, do not leave a passport as a pledge, only a copy.

in general, it is not as scary as it seems, there are signs, so you will know that you are in Calangute. A moped is a good idea, we rode on different beaches, it's worth it.
I agree about gps, although they themselves got it only once in 10 days.
Everything is practically along the coast, and most importantly - there are signs with the names of the settlement
