I actually like the intersections where they make the carts merge into the car lanes. This prevents the cars from cutting a cart off when they make a right hand turn.
That would cause a lot of traffic flow problems if the carts had to move left into the street at every intersection on Morse north of 466. You just gotta be careful, and assume the car on your left doesn't see you. It's kind of the same attitude you need when you're riding a bike or a motorcycle.
