Given the high volume of traffic at this intersection, the high speed of the traffic (particularly on the southern slip lane), and the general lack of inclination of motorists to bother indicating a turn, it could take quite some time to wait for a sufficient safe break. On the other hand, getting a change that would require motorists to give way to crossing cyclists would be a lot more challenging. Would people here be happy having to wait for a break to cross? Which outcome should we be pushing for?

What about just having an extra set of traffic lights installed there that are activated when cyclists push a button and possibly have them operate in sync with the main lights?
