[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you mean the intersection of a MacArthur and the entry into the Clara Barton? It’s a bit scary how they blow through there. I got yelled at by a cyclist who was behaving in just the manner you described. I posted about it a few weeks ago. I’m with you 100%. They’re going to cause an accident, and between a ton or so of metal and a dude on a bike, guess who’s going to fare better?[/quote]
OP here - yes this exact location. I hope that no one gets hurt. but it's inevitable. Then everyone will blame the drivers.[/quote]

Agreed. I’m not excusing aggressive behavior by drivers at all.  That intersection is very congested at times, and a place where I’ve seen a lot of dangerous cyclist behavior.  Just because  you can go through a stop sign doesn’t mean it’s safe to do so. Sometimes drivers do not see a cyclist coming up behind them, especially as many cyclists take to the footpath during high traffic times, and cyclists don’t always make sure drivers can see them before proceeding through. And then they get angry when drivers swerve avoid them.

Something about the intersection brings out the worst – maybe it’s the rush-hour frustration. [/quote]
