As others have mentioned a lot of the on road accidents occur when sidewalk riders get to intersections. Most of them continue along as if they were on a bikepath without the slightest look or change of speed of any kind.

I did see one last month that got off and wlaked his bike across in the crosswalk. Quite noteworthy as such are so rare.
