This is actually a lot of it. I rarely come to full stops messengering in NYC.
Learning how to look for openings is more important. If you want to come to full stops, than you should probably run a break.
Don't be afraid to wave your arms at cars, use your voice, or whatever to let people know that your NOT stopping. Worst your gonna do is make a car slow down for a fraction of a second, or get a pedestrian to look up from their ipod/phone/ect.

Your a dick.
I hope you get doored.
