As a MUP commuter, don't see much trackstanding, but there is one place where riders and peds waiting for a green light tend to block the MUP, assuming everyone will line up behind them and continue straight. Since I'm actually turning there and not crossing, it is difficult to pass and continue on my way. A little annoying.
