It’s frequent for me to get close to cars, as it seems they are not sure what I am going to do – in fact, I am not sure what they expect me to do either. I’m signaling all I want, I’m just not sure what’s better for predictability and safety. Even (especially!) if you don’t ride a cycle, I’d like your opinion on this.
1A – Get off the cycle path as soon as it ends, as it clearly turns into a sidewalk. Illegal to be on the sidewalk. Yield when getting off, of course. This is also the smoother way, given I don’t have to hop off a border, this way.
1B – Get off the cycle path after the crossing, where it’s easier to see if cars are coming. Bit scary given there’s a little ditch below the border.
2A – When the light is green, turn left on the main lane, like a car would do. Merge onto the cycle path as soon as possible after the crossroad.
2B – When the light is green, merge with the cycle path within the crossing, therefore yielding to cars coming from north turning right.
What would you expect?

This is a crossroad in Leuze-en-Hainaut, which I take frequently to do groceries. It has traffic lights. Here’s [street view ](https://www.google.com/maps/@50.6035188,3.6275041,3a,60y,319.27h,77.66t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sxZdqqsj-JXTD8Y290xv02g!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fcb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26pitch%3D12.340789087325618%26panoid%3DxZdqqsj-JXTD8Y290xv02g%26yaw%3D319.2694154684606!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MTExNy4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D)for the location. *I may have gone a little bit hard with trying to make a neat drawing.*
