Why would you guys ever wait in line with the cars? That's a sure way to get rear ended! I've actually had a CHP officer tell my class that when on a motorcycle to actually pull up between at least a couple of cars at a red light to avoid getting smacked from behind. I don't know why a bike would be any different. Now, I say this from the persepctive that I'm usually in position C and would be impeding the cars behind as I cross the intersection. And as I said before, I'm never the first one through the intersection. I really can't see a cop writing a citation for a cyclist pulling up to the crosswalk...
