I usually just give myself a lot of room ahead of the car in front, slow down to a crawl, keep balance and keep slowing down to a very very slow crawl as long as possible while inching my way to the car in front. Half the time I finally put my foot down but half the time I get the timing right and never move my feet and make it through.

So satisfying when you can make through a busy intersection without putting your feet down. I feel it’s safer if you never put your feet down in an intersection because once you do, you’ve stopped, and once you’ve stopped, you’re a sitting target that will take time to react and move. If you’ve planned and kept an eye out the whole time and your feet are up, at least you know where to go and go quickly if you have to and get out of the intersection and away from a dangerous place.
