Chaingangs, big groups, whatever. People who are desperate to 'stay on' ride as if with diminished responsibility at junctions, lights, and pinch-points around that place when better judgement - *any *judgement - would suggest they shouldn't.
The whole scenario would be an accident waiting to happen, were it not for the fact that all the accidents do happen; with increasing regularity. There's a reason why the longstanding group rides that use the place have always been scheduled before the morning rush hour, or after the evening one. That reason is common sense.
