Like I said, no one is saying to charge right thru an intersection.... there's always an "out", just look around. You don't need to take off like a rocket. Like Empty Sea said..... and what I was trying to say.....if you're not first in line at the stop, you can slowly work your way over to the left or right of the vehicles in front of you. Even if a road is only one lane in each direction, its usually 30 or 40 feet wide. So say 8 or even 9 feet wide each for one car in each direction, you still have room somewhere to scootch yourself over, providing you left the bike in first gear and gave yourself some room between you and the car in front.
Even if you're first in line, there's room to move slightly forward and left or right before you are in the cross traffic. That cross traffic isn't passing by just 3 or 4 feet in front of your front tire. If it is, then you stopped too far forward anyway.
