if there is enough room you can swerve, like make curves to shorten the distance (so you don't go into the intersection) and you can end up with your pedals in trackstand position. i'm not sure if this is what you're asking but either way..

Ode to the nap
The evil, evil nap
It lures
you succumb
But only with good intent
Shortly I will rise
But you do not.
Do not succumb
To the evil, evil nap
