Heading South on the Badger Trail, I approached the intersection with CTH PD (Mckee Road) with my usual caution. I don't use the meaningless and ambiguous 'warning signal', because it is meaningless and ambiguous.
One car on PD came to a stop, either because of the mistaken notion that they are required to yield, or of the equally mistaken notion that they are being 'nice'. Usually I just wave them on, because it is an ambiguous situation, and that makes me nervous. At a minimum I check to see if there is traffic behind the stopped car.
My caution was warranted this time. Some dude-bro comes speeding along, seemingly unaware of the car stopped in from of him. At the last moment, he brakes hard, tires squealing, narrowly avoids rear-ending that car, and passes in the right lane; then takes off. Leaving the lovely smell of burnt rubber hanging in the air.
I suppose its possible that if I had activated the ambiguous warning signal, it would have alerted the speeding dude-bro, but I kind of doubt it.
My message to car drivers is pay attention, follow the rules of the road, and don't try to be 'nice'.
