APPROACHING BUSY MAJOR INTERSECTIONS

PROBLEM: The light turns green, you're in the left lane but can't go because cars ahead are unable to turn left due to on coming traffic. Other times, you're in the right lane but can't go because cars ahead are unable to turn right, because pedestrians are blocking them. SOLUTION: As you approach the red light, see if anyone in either lane has their turn signals on. If you see a signal in the left lane, pull behind into the right lane and vice versa. If all things are equal, choose the lane with the fewest cars. More cars in a lane increases the odds that one of those cars will be attempting to turn. Doug in Oakland, California
