(I       was still working in parking at the time). He joked back I had no authority       on a city street. I replied I know have fiends in the city (police       department). He said he knew people w              > That said, most serious bicycle riders in this area avoid the streets with       lights.                There is one street here, about two over from a major street that I use.        Going to the store it has five red lights (three in a row) whereas the major       street has nine in the same distance. I sometimes use that street rather       than the major one, which I live        In this town the lights are set up so you go a block and stop. Go a       block and stop. Go a block and stop. No matter if in a car or on bike.              > > I also see a lot of drivers who think the left turn lane is some some of       express lane to go through intersections.       >        > That is a new one.
