I've found a noticeable improvement with a front blinkie - I use a Planet Bike Blaze 2w on blinking mode.
Where I've really noticed it is:
- when approaching cross streets with stop signs (when I am on the main road with no stop), drivers do a double take and stop rolling forward. In the past (with steady, not blinking lights) such drivers have not seen me and have pulled out in front of me. Frequently.
- When approaching major intersections with cars turning left from the opposite direction (across my lane)
