Thanks all. I appreciate the input.

I always have blinky lights going front and rear. I think my biggest issue is that I also drive these streets on a regular basis and I know what is going on in a drivers head. Particularly the second spot with the freeway . I have yet to see an accident or a laid out biker there in all my years driving there so I spose I just need to feel more confident and stay aware or just find another route. The main reason I take this route is that it takes me to the Bike Trail faster. Otherwise I have to ride 2 main intersections up on the road to get to the bike trail for only 2 other intersections.

Either way, thanks for the food for thought.
