How do people here generally respond to drivers illegally yielding at crossings?
This has been becoming a bigger issue for me, there are several crossings on the Spur Line which I now ride daily, where drivers routinely try to yield and cause me and others delays, and create dangerous situations, as I've observed numerous times drivers in others lanes or even behind the yielding drivers proceed through the intersection.
But this is often costing me 2-3 today even 5 minutes of delay on my ride....
I'm at my wits end here. Should I print out pages explaining very clearly why yielding is a bad idea and give it to all the drivers kind enough to stop and create a dangerous situation for everyone?
I know we've been lobbying the city for a crossing policy which is less pessimal, but that doesn't seem to be a avenue likely to yield any solutions.
