  Let $(M,g)$ be a compact Riemannian surface with nonpositive sectional
curvature and let $\gamma$ be a closed geodesic in $M$. And let $e_\lambda$ be
an $L^2$-normalized eigenfunction of the Laplace-Beltrami operator $\Delta_g$
with $-\Delta_g e_\lambda = \lambda^2 e_\lambda$. Sogge, Xi, and Zhang showed
using the Gauss-Bonnet theorem that $$ \int_\gamma e_\lambda \, ds =
O((\log\lambda)^{-1/2}),$$ an improvement over the general $O(1)$ bound. We
show this integral enjoys the same decay for a wide variety of curves, where
$M$ has nonpositive sectional curvature. These are the curves $\gamma$ whose
geodesic curvature avoids, pointwise, the geodesic curvature of circles of
infinite radius tangent to $\gamma$.
