As a cyclist, this is one of the more annoying things I have to deal with. In the example you mention, I would expect you to proceed before I actually reach the intersection. Now, instead of slowing down and then proceeding through the intersection (after you've gone), I have to come to a stop and wait for you to proceed before I can go.
- dllthomas 12y agoSignal. Which is not to say that I wholly endorse the comment you were responding to, just that there is a good way you can make your intentions clear.
- afterburner 12y agoAgain, you're applying rules too strictly. If you (the cyclist) are far enough away that you can stop easily if I (the driver) were to proceed, then I'll proceed. Bottom line, use common sense. If it looks like a close call, I'll wait until it's not, just like I would with a pedestrian; I'm not going to wait from the pedestrian 10 seconds away to cross either. Surely you'd support that kind of common sense caution towards cyclists.
