Was doing some charity bike ride when I was 16 and, halfway through, there was something like this. I'd zoned out and was gonna cycle on through the intersection when someone called out for me to stop. If I hadn't, I'd have been splattered by a speeding Corvette. I wonder if this may have played a factor.
