On my ride home on Thursday I take a MUP that crosses a busy 6 lane road. There's a crosswalk with flashing yellow lights for when pedestrians/cyclists need to cross. Usually I wait until there are no oncoming cars to cross but on Thursday two cars stopped for me. As I started crossing a car in a lane further over almost hit me as they did not see me and I did not see them (Both of our vision was blocked by the cars stopped at the crosswalk). Thankfully they stopped in time and I crossed unharmed. I'm trying to figure out how to be more cautious in that situation next time. Obviously the driver should have been more aware of the stopped cars at the crosswalk.
