This also drives me crazy, it’s nice of them but ends up complicating an already tricky turn or crossing or something else. The worst is when they do it in a situation where there’s more than one lane and I literally can’t see or expect cars in the other lane to also stop / slow down for me.

Any good strategies for these types of encounters (esp. when visibility is poor), other than thanking them but insistently waving them on?

On left turns, I do a shoulder check right as the light turns green. People seem to be less inclined to wave cyclists through and less inclined to hesitate thinking the cyclist is going to dart through if the cyclist isn't looking in their direction.

Unfortunately not, that's basically my strategy.
