    You’d try to cross the lane here?? Really? It looks really dangerous with so many bikes close together. I hope there are frequent red lights.

      you see pedestrians crossing there. But you wouldn’t see people crossing a street with that much car traffic.

      I get that it is hard to imagine but as soon as you get used to this, you’ll realize there is much less danger in the video than it might seem

        It reminds me of Asian countries where people cross the street with cars that go like that.

      As long as you don’t just dart out onto the street, you can likely just cross the street without issue. I’d probably be looking to try to time it, but I have a feeling that you’d be fine just from the bikers’ desire to not collide with anyone, plus their higher maneuverability and lower speed compared to cars.

      Even in this video, you see people who are turning doing so without colliding with those who are going straight, despite the intersection being completely uncontrolled and no one being obligated to stop. Managing that is more difficult than just avoiding pedestrians, assuming the pedestrians move predictably and in good faith.
