<p>Actually, if I were a cyclist in that intersection I would just "ride the coattails" of the car going in my direction so it probably would lead to less stopping for me.

<p>I think the graphic above is so telling. No cyclists. No pedestrians. Only cars. It is a old-school traffic engineers dream. It's all about L.O.S.</p>
