What's the solution when someone gets stuck blocking the intersection, because there's not sufficient break in the traffic for him to execute the turn?
How much time does it take for 1 or 2 cars to execute the turn? If you are paying attention, then as soon as the approaching traffic stops, off you go. The cross traffic will still be sitting at amber lights. Why would they choose to jump those and side-swipe you?
