Maybe because I almost always ride on busy city streets? I'm surprised that more people haven't brought up the fact that getting to point B might not even be possible given the traffic conditions.
If I can't get to B, I would stay in line with the cars at the light while taking the lane slightly to the left of C and D. Do you use your left arm to signal and turn your head around? When I do that, I usually find someone who is willing to accommodate me but I don't really ride in the city, I live in suburbia.
