I like the way it has diagrams of the traffic patterns and then little tiny
pictures of the 'biker', and a numbered legend showing the problem and
details of a particular traffic configuration 'problem'.
He also puts some funny stuff in there like 'B is the soccer mom in the van
entering the shopping mall. She may be so excited at the prospect of
shopping that she might not see a biker, and try to dive for the 'hole' in
traffic before it's prudent'. hah-hah.
