I have on ongoing issue that occurs quite regularly when I commute by bicycle.
Very often when I approach a main road that I intend to cross I pull up at the stop sign and wait my turn. a well meaning motorist stops to let me cross the street but I can't trust that other vehicles will stop and I don't want to cross the road illegally. I wave to the driver to continue, shout that she need not stop for me and should treat me as any other vehicle. By this point another vehicle may have slowed or stopped on the main road or the driver behind me gets irate.
This ends in mass confusion and raised voices.
What is the best way to handle this?
