I’m biking along North on the trail (coming from Victoria Park, say).
So I have to make this shallow merge off the trail onto the road. Almost die spot one.
Then I have to get into the left turn lane, with sometimes super-fast cars coming up my ass.
Then the light goes green and I go into the intersection and someone flying along Victoria on a stale yellow (red) almost hits me turning left. Cute and fun!
Then I get to stand there in the middle of this massive intersection with my arm out, cars coming on Strange, waiting for a break.
Then when the light goes yellow, and I can finally go, the 3 cars behind me are annoyed and floor it sharply left while I have to swing wide to hit the bike lane, and by then the light had gone green on Victoria.
Last danger point is turning right up the curb to continue on the trail. It’s a bump and I can fall off my bike there very easily if not careful.
