Ouch! WTF was that!?! Oh iv'e just been ran over by something that I didn't see behind that bike! Its ok I can see it now iv'e been ran over and its on its way up the street, it was a bike trailer. I cant tell by those big red flashing lights...
If stepping out is a problem then you need to put some little white flasher lights on the
FRONT (each side) of the trailer so people can see it behind your bike and not step out too soon.
Sorry if im nit picking but iv'e just had one of those days and I need a rant
Nice trailer BTW, I like the way you have incorporated the trailer brake.

Imagine a corner, the ped is walking South along a sidewalk, I come out of a side street going West to East, they pause waiting for me on my bicycle to pass in front of them, when the bicycle has passed the start to step out into the assumed empty space behind my bicycle, and are SHOCKED to find out that said space is occupied by a trailer. The flashing red lights are an attempt to catch their eye before they step into my moving trailer. Yes flashing red lights on the front corners and side would be better, as well as a whooping siren, but I have to draw the line at some point
