*smh* It often allows cyclists to stay ahead of motorists. It would be particularly useful here in Philly, with its many narrow streets. When there are two lanes, one might be blocked by a delivery truck. If I don't have to wait for the light I can easily get ahead of traffic and change lanes to pass the stopped vehicle without traffic bearing down on me.
You're not considering all scenarios. I think you are just angry that you were inconvenienced during your drive.
