Thanks all! Normally the key thing is to try to anticipate what everyone else is going to do. But when something is distracting (such as the glare of the sunlight on the traffic light in this case) you are entirely dependent on everyone obeying the rules and everyone seeing you. Makes me feel much more vulnerable and reminds me to have “constant vigilance” at all times.

Chad, oops! I updated the post to get your last name right! Yeah, that was crazy on Alford Ave, that was a close call, too. Let’s ride again soon – double oak mountain sounds good.

Damn, glad you’re okay! Close calls are no fun, even when they turn out for the best. In the Fall of ’09 I had a very similar close call with a school bus. Little bit of luck & quick reactions prevented me from becoming a hood ornament. As always, I echo your sentiments – gotta be careful & keep your wits about you.
