if the light is red, it's a piece of cake.
however, you'll have to hope for low traffic density is the light is green, because you'll have to "take the lane" earlier
If the light is red, I'm on the other side of the intersection at 185h. These pictures were taken from a traffic island on the east side of 185th. And traffic density is rarely low when I come through here. These pictures were taken at about 1:30 PM. I usually come through between 5:30 and 6:30 PM when half the county is driving home.
I've tried to figure out a way to take the lane. The best I've come up with is to do it on the other side of the intersection. Even that's not easy in heavy traffic.
