  Springfield to Bradley

Being Traffic ... around the dumpster...

Just as you go through the intersection  (Country Fair & Springfield), you lose the shoulder and there's a dumpster;
it's not common, but sometimes there is glass around it. Generally, by the time I get
to the dumpster, the cars from the intersection have passed me.

Note that if there's a bus behind you, it will (100% of my experience) be turning right at the
next turn, just around the corner.  Behave accordingly.  (Drivers have *never* passed me
and then cut me off, though I have also taken care not to set up that situation.) Traffic is generally
busy enough to preclude people taking those curves at high speeds.
