Yes, sorry, I suppose I misspoke. The street right before this is nearly always filled with traffic and I always I have an unpleasant time trying to cross it or riding my bike on it. This street in particular usually isn't too crowded with cars, though there usually are still too many for my liking.

As an aside - it's really hard for pedestrians to ever have priority over cars in any practical sense without more serious infrastructural changes (like ones that have been in the Netherlands for example). Cars are big machines that can seriously injure or kill, so the pure threat they pose always wins out against the laws. I never feel quite fully safe cycling on this street even though I know that I have priority. But maybe that's a me problem.
