Regardless if you're a cyclist or a motorist, one should be vigilant and observant of their surroundings.
There are several T intersections with 1 way streets in downtown Vancouver. I'm a pretty cautious cyclist so I do slow down at such intersections to a rolling stop and will look around, before continuing forward, if it is a red light. If it's thick traffic, no I just stop and wait.
