Not that I know of, but I nearly collided with a car yesterday at one of them. This is why I don't like these two.

Can't you find a safer route to ride your bike ? I am glad you are OK. The city will probably do something to made that safer after some is badly hurt or killed. That is want happen in my city , we had a very dangerous intersection and my city kept trying to get the state to put up some traffic lights an accident was happening there at least 3 or 4 times a week.
The state finally put up traffic lights after my car was T boned by an teenager driver my car was totaled then there where two more bad one after mine . Then the state put in the lights!

No, I can't. This is the most direct route to get to where I'm going, and it's also the quickest. I just need to be careful, and ride slow.

Maybe you could get a real loud horn to put on your bike to warn drivers you riding across the street .

Because I rode in a medical helicopter twice in less than 10 years. Doctors back then warned me that it wasn't a good idea to try and fly. As for today, I have no idea.

Did you ask doctor why? Were you panic and went black out?

^^ Those are just recommended safety features. It's not the law or required to have these items.
