So I'll have to at slow down when I see autos on these cross streets ( which isn't often ). Thanks, all, for setting me straight.
Perfect.

It is completely appropriate and correct (in any vehicle) to yield your so-called "right of way" to avoid a collision. In fact, you must do that.

Enjoy the trail (and be careful).
