Intersections are dangerous, your right. As a cyclist you are a sitting duck in the road with no cage around you to soften the blow. There aren’t many people that take the lane and wait for a green light to start walking across the road so I don’t see where pedestrians come in. Drivers are so distracted with everything else in the world that driving takes a second seat imo, so if you choose to obey all the laws great, but dont be offended if others try to limit their exposure to danger by using common sense and riding out of hazardous areas like intersections as fast as possible.
