My town is very bike friendly, there are signs everywhere, but at the same time, the stupid drivers make it very bike unfriendly. And unfortunately, there's no way to avoid that street. My job is on the corner of two major, 40 mph streets. I do plan on walking the bike through cross walks simply because I'm not comfortable crossing four lanes for a left turn, but a lot of people in my town don't use turn signals, speed, and talk on the phone while driving. I do plan on getting lights; particularly the flea USB chargable ones; I've heard lots of good about them. I figure I can strap the rear light to my helmet instead, so it's higher up, for cars to see, as well as taping myself up with reflective tape. Or heck, if I can find some reflective ductape I can build myself a vest.

I guess I'm just psyching myself out. I know everyone complains about bikers, so I guess I'm just scared that means they're out to get me! xD Thanks guys.
