If you don't already own a copy, I suggest writing down
Proficient Motorcycling: The Ultimate Guide to Riding Well on your Christmas wish list. There's a whole chapter on urban survival tactics and he spends a good deal discussing intersections. The rest of the book is packed full of useful knowledge that you can put to immediate use on the street and use forever. I read certain sections every spring to brush up before going out for battle. It should be on every motorcyclist's book shelf in my opinion.
