Greenfield riders often share the road with:
- Commuter traffic moving through peak hours, especially where turning vehicles and lane changes are common.
- Construction and detours that change curb lines, lane markings, and sightlines—sometimes with limited notice.
- Suburban intersections where drivers may not expect a cyclist to be present or where timing of turns and traffic control creates close calls.
- Industrial and delivery traffic that can be larger, heavier, and harder to stop quickly.
These realities matter because insurers may argue the crash was unavoidable or that your conduct was the cause. Your claim needs to be built around what a reasonable driver should have done in that exact environment.
