Without a cycle lane across major intersection (with lights), drivers do not consider the path of a cyclist that they are crossing when turning right.
In this instance it was a clear day, highly visible rider (vest and NiteFlux light ON).
A cycle lane painted across the intersection may remind drivers they need to consider a cyclist as a vehicle also.

Intersection hazard - side street
Entering an intersection drivers do not consider the speed of a bicycle.
Research shows a cyclist travels at an average speed of 20 Km/Hr

In this video the speed was approx 25Km/Hr.
