If you take the blue route per attached, you could get killed as the cars can go straight or turn left on the green light. I prefer the aqua route. Go straight, verify cars are turning then turn wide left. If cars are heading straight, I can abandon and head towards the NE corner and wait for the light. This intersection is Capitol Expy and Narvaez Ave. Diagram has North pointing down. I'm riding from the adjacent park&ride.
Can you make a right turn and then make a U turn? What's the traffic like on the street that's running horizontal on the drawing?
