Aside from that, unless traffic is in a gridlock situation, why would you want the potentially distracted drivers who passed you previously to be behind you once again? Wouldn't it be better to let them go on ahead and you not have to deal with them again?
I roll up to a T intersection near a school. Left, right? no tun signal, everyone looking down at their phones. I position myself in front of the left turning lane and wait until all the other cross traffic has stopped but our light hasn't turned green yet. I jump across the intersection as my light turns to green, then when everyone looks up from their phone, I'm already pedaling left down the road. Through the intersection, safely. As to me repassing cars? it is a 20 mph school zone with crazy, late drop off parents lining up to let their kids off. I take the lane here. This works for me, YRMV. No preaching allowed unless you have driven or pedaled in MA. Really a different world, really.
