Question for the commuters:
On my ride home from work, I go westbound on 10th ave, and turn south (left hand turn across traffic) onto 8th street. The problem is that during heavy traffic, 10th avenue gets really backed up, which means a long wait at the lights, and then forcing cars behind me to wait while I turn, causing more backup.
Is it a legitimate move to just go straight through the intersection, and join the southbound traffic on 8th who is waiting at the lights? ie-Can I treat this intersection as if it has a bike box for making a left hand turn?
