So sayeth a rather prolific poster.
Yesterday I, on my bike, needed to cross a busy 4-lane main road to get
to the shared path on the other side in order to turn left.
There is a safety island in the middle of the road.
I cross to the safety island, then stop to see if I can complete my
crossing without being murdered.
One car whizzes past.
The next murderous motorist slows down and signals me to cross.
There being no other murderous motorists in sight I duly cross.
Whew! Saved by the skin of my teeth.

I strongly suspect, Peter, that most road-users in your neck of the
woods (including your good self) adhere to the "Do unto others..." rule.
And so they should.
