I appreciate the thought, but I don't trust that the other few lanes of traffic are going to do the same. I'll just wait for the traffic to clear, thanks.
I know the drivers are trying to be courteous, but as they slow down they basically remove the gap I'm aiming for. I wave them through while yelling that they have the right of way. Unfortunately, the gap has disappeared and I have to wait for traffic to clear.

I typically deal with this situation daily northbound on 26 St SW crossing 26 Ave. Most times it is quicker to dismount and cross as a pedestrian.
