Is anybody familiar with this intersection? Going West, It scares the crap outta me. It's got 4 lanes, two that go straight (on the left), then next to that is a lane that goes straight
or turns right, then a right turn only lane. The problem with it is that the right arrows turn first, while the straight lights stay red. If you're in that 2nd lane and you're turning right, you can go, but if you're going straight, you have to wait for the straight green light, which would hold up right turners behind you. (does that make sense?) In a car, this wouldn't bother me, but on my bike it's scary. I've seen people stuck behind those cars, while waiting for the straight green light, get visibly pissed off. I hope my post wasn't too confusing..
What would be the best thing to do in this situation? Currently I gave in to my fear and go around the block just to avoid this intersection.
(on the map, i'd be coming from the top right corner towards the left)
