What could be causing the problem?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cyclist Cedric<\/strong> also has a turning concern while on the move. When travelling on dedicated bike lanes, making a left turn can be tricky business. Must he merge into dangerous traffic to get to the left turn traffic lane? Or is there an easier way?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pedestrian Percy<\/strong> and his <strong>grandfather<\/strong> need to be fully aware of their surroundings when crossing the street, whether it\u2019s to the vivastation in the centre lanes, or continuing to the other side.<\/p>\n<p>However you get around, it\u2019s important to understand what everyone else is doing to make sure your journey is a safe one. <a title=\"YouTube video -- rapidway intersections: safe journeys\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Zqvlvw71CP0\" target=\"_blank\">Watch the video<\/a>, get to know the new surroundings, and take care when you\u2019re travelling.
