This week I had another cycling incident at the same intersection as last week. This time I just stopped at the red light and waited for it to turn green. There was another cyclist on the other side of the intersection. I made sure to signal very conspicuously that I was turning right. He still didn't seem to notice until we'd both started pedaling, though. When he looked at my signal, he also gave a right-turn signal. However, by this time we both had too much momentum to turn in front of one another, so we both yielded as though the other were going straight, then went ahead and turned right behind each other. I've illustrated it in a quick Paint image above if my description is inadequate.
My brother Spencer often thought of odd exceptions that should be incorporated into the rules of the road to make sure everyone should pay better attention. Maybe this is an option?
