Biking Gauntlet from Fairfax Drive to Clarendon Blvd

Bike box video I got the other day:

What about the scenario when the light is green and a biker has to turn left?

If they stop on the right for the light to go red, then they will be blocking the lane for cyclists either going straight or turning right!

I’ve taken to staying in the right through lane to Wilson and lining up to go straight on Wilson at the traffic island. This helps avoid the problem of turning from the left turn lane with no break in the oncoming traffic.

I do what the first poster does. Left side before Kirkwood and straight through to take a left on Wilson. I wouldn’t want to weave left in the distance between Kirkwood and Wilson. Making the right lane on Wilson a sharrow would help. Generally the cars turning left onto Wilson will stay in the left lane. Once I almost had a problem with a car turn right from Wilson onto Washington even though it should have been obvious that I was going straight on Wilson/Clarendon. Otherwise, I haven’t had much trouble in Clarendon.
