    • A cyclist was coming up from below, and I was trying to cross the intersection at the timing of the green signal
      • There was a diagonal bike lane, so I tried to follow it
      • However, of course, cars were also coming up from below at the same timing, and it almost collided
        • Well, that’s to be expected (blu3mo)
    • What should I have done in this situation..? (blu3mo)(blu3mo)
      • Well, as a safety measure, I could have crossed the pedestrian crosswalk to the right first, and then crossed the one going up, so I wouldn’t have been hit
