It is rare to see motorists stopping and waiting at the 5-way crossing at Weston Road, Trapelo Road, Bedford Road, and Sandy Pond Road; in my experience many simply plough through without waiting as the law requires. And as a motorist I find it difficult to know how to cope with cyclists riding two and three abreast, occupying the entire road. Dangerous for all concerned.
