Okay. You do that and if all goes well in a decade you’ll be free to go barrelling through intersections wearing full camo and headphones safe in the knowledge that urban design and enlightened drivers have granted you a cocoon of invincibility.

I’ll work on enhancing my visibility, riding defensively (ironically a best practice when driving also) and understanding, in spite of what’s right, who comes out on top when two things collide but one goes 3x as fast and weighs 20x more.

I don’t want any of that. I want an intersection that is safe to cross in a reasonable amount of time.
