He should have just turned and gotten out of the way, but didn't. He started to back up a little, but then didn't and just sat there while the cross traffic went around behind him. I was just shaking my head as I pedaled through.
Yeah I don't get that. I always pull into the intersection when waiting to turn left, and when the light turns yellow, oncoming traffic stops, and then I go!

2nd day in a row commuting for me, and first commute in nearly 2 weeks on my road bike. I felt good and strong(er) this morning for some reason. My moving time was 7 minutes less than it was on my last morning road bike commute, and only 12 minutes longer than my e-bike commute yesterday, so not too bad!
