So, say you are at the lights at a crossroads and want to turn right, but the road layout is such that it feels dodgy being stuck out in the middle waiting for a gap in the oncoming traffic, for example with two lanes merging to one over the junction and oncoming traffic very close. Is it dickish to get off, use the ped crossings to cross over then remount and pootle off, having thus traversed the junction in a less risky way?
