Thanks for all your suggestions. In North County San Diego, where this is, the newer roads have properly designed bike lanes. But many sections of Hwy 1 still have bike lanes that continue right up to the intersection. Solana Beach is especially bad, and there the highway is brand new. On top of that, they have very short lights, so drivers are always pissed off. I'm very reluctant to get into the regular traffic lane, especially with a recumbent, because I take a little bit longer to get started. The good thing is that there are so many cyclists here that drivers are pretty used to them.
