Find a safe place for a track stance. Ususally behind a vehicle if possible. If one is coming up on me and I'm approaching a light or stop sign, I'll safely slip right and slow down to get behind the traffic and then slip back into the middle of the lane right behind them. Then I can just follow the vehicles cue most of the time. My town is not bike friendly at all so you have to put the hammer down to get across some spots. More like a war zone. Probably why no one commutes here. I don't think cyclists are really appreciated on the road here.
