I always am cautious at cross streets. Especially at 3:30 PM on my commute. There are a couple I pass where I have an uncontrolled through path, and the crosses are controlled by stop signs. Every day cars zoom up to the stop signs, and stop, though not always completely, half way into the bike lane. I make eye contact, and slow, just in case. At least they are looking my way. The only time I ever saw someone hit was a girl on a cruiser, no helmet, salmoning on the sidewalk. Fortunately she wasn't seriously hurt, and I don't think she was going very fast. Poor old guy in the old Chevy looked like he was going to have a heart attack.
