I might also add that there are approx 130 miles of bike trails in Lincoln, so there are may intersections that the bike trail crosses streets. Most of these crossing near the down town is controlled by traffic lights.
What you mentioned. Reminded me of when I was (stupidly) on the sidewalk a couple years ago. Approaching a four-way intersection. Just as I was about to cross the street, a car suddenly turned right, causing me to have to slam on my brakes, hard. I came within inches of getting knocked off my bike.
