My route to takes me though a stop light that I cross now. But will I still be able to cross it the next time and the next. I find that cars see me crossing. I also see them go without looking. The light has no button to press and It crosses a highway and then leads me in the left lane. Cars can pass on the right and they have to. I like my route for the most part. The other route I could take is under the highway put then I'm forced to put up with people in cars and huge trucks on a small 2 way road. Those are the only routes into work. both worry me every time I'm on them. I want to bike in the winter to but I think its a matter of time before something happens. I'm always on high alert. Any advise cars at the stop light turn south crossing over my path the same time I'm going. I don't own a car.

Hard to follow what you are talking about. You cross a stop light? Crossing an intersection with a stoplight is usually a good thing.
You are not comfortable riding in traffic, obviously. The more you ride on roads with other traffic, the more comfortable you will be.
Being on high alert is a good thing, as long as you are not freaked out.

Ohh sorry I was in a bit of a hurry... Anyways My route takes me thought an intersection at a highway. I'm going thought the stop light when its green. But there are cars turning south across my path that sometimes don't see me. I get worried that someone will see me and not press the brakes. The time is in the morning and late afternoon and sometimes at night. Which is fine I've never had to cross this kinda light before and I'm worried that this coming winter I'm going to have the same problem but only this time the driver won't stop. I have no choice but to cross. what do I do??? Do I take the other route which takes me on narrow roads with lots of cars. Do I cont. to cross the highway.

I'm still having a hard time understanding. do you mean you're going straight
and traffic on the opposite side is turning left in front of you? Or traffic at the
intersection is making a right turn on red? Either way try making yourself as
easy to see as possible. Wear bright clothing, at night wear something with
reflective materials. Run lights on your bike night and day. If this is a new
route for you or you're new to riding, don't worry you'll get used to dealing
with traffic after a while.

Yes, I have to deal with cars turning left across my route from the opposite side. Do you think it is safe after you have crossed to turn left across 2 other lanes into a parking lot. I'm getting pretty good at it but this winter I think I'm taking a different route. I don't want to take the chance of someone sliding into me. I'm just saying Every morning I don't like to take that way. I have to find something different. Plus "they" as in the city or someone is building a new highway and a longer bike route. The route goes almost to my work. I want them to finish the bike route and the highway both but rebuilding a highway takes a lot of time. The bike route doesn't seem to be getting much work done to it either. To bad it would help out a lot. Your post made me feel a little bit better. Thanks 1interceptor

You're welcome. A lot of commuters try out different routes to find the
one they like the best. Some like the shortest/fastest route. some like to
take side streets so that they don't have to deal with a lot of traffic.
You can also try adjusting the times that you ride, sometimes leaving a
half an hour earlier can make a big difference in traffic volume.

Even leaving 10 minutes early can make a big difference, depending on the traffic patterns of the area.

I would suggest getting a front flasher(at the minimum) and make sure it's running at the intersection. I picked up a cheap set of blinkies from the LBS last weekend and the difference its made in my visibility is very noticeable, despite my rides being entirely in the daylight.

I cross a very busy freeway on my ride in also. Sometimes at super busy intersections I will not use the green light and I will just wait it out on the side in a parking lot driveway for example. A lot of times no matter how busy the intersection is it will kinda die out right before the yellow and you can follow the last cycle of cars through the lights instead of having to "mix" with them. Not always but sometimes you have several moments to get going down the road before the next wave hits.

I always feel more comfortable sprinting to make the yellow with light traffic than sitting on the front with 50+ cars waiting behind me.

If it were me, I would cross at the light BUT pretend like I was invisible (in other words, assume the worst of the drivers and be very aware) until I got comfortable with that intersection.

+1 You might also want to get a high visibility vest or jacket.

Try to read the eyes of the drivers making a left turn and anticipate their intention. It's usually pretty easy to tell if a driver sees you or if they are looking through the intersection about to make a turn in front or into you, just by their body language and facial cues.
Are you saying you have to make a left right after a busy intersection? I find it's sometimes better to pull off to the right if possible and cross the street when clear. I have one of these on one of my routes and I find it as much of a courtesy thing as safety to let all the cars behind me get through the intersection instead of holding them up as I wait for the cars waiting at the opposite side of the intersection to clear so I can make my left.

As suggested by others, make yourself more visible to oncoming/turning traffic with a bright flashing light and also, perhaps, highly visible clothing.

And if becoming more visible isn't enough for you, then augment with an Airzound. If nothing else, a blast on that will cause everyone within earshot to scan for the source of the noise- which is you.
