You know, today I was at an intersection with my bike, where I had a stop sign and the other street had a lot of traffic. Usually I wait for a car on my street to try crossing so I can cross with them because no car is gonna stop for a bicycle. But I made the mistake of staying on the right side when apparently most of the cars on my street wanted to turn right, going in front of me. Less than half of them used their turn signal. Seriously people?
You wait for a car to initiate crossing because the road is so busy that you need to just cross and hope the cars without a stop sign will slow down for you? That sounds like a horrible intersection for everybody.
Yeah, one of the places in dire need of a traffic light. But in the absence of it I will definitely blame cars for not following basic rules.
