There are intersections that are so open and clear that you can ascertain with full certainty that there is NO risk to others.

this is basically the infallible car driver fallacy again. This is inevitably going to fuck up while being entirely preventable. Eventually people get distracted, or someone rides around in the dark with broken or turned off lights, or maybe it's just a pedestrian, cyclist, scooter or motorcycle that the quick scan car drivers do just looks right past because it's not car and then somebody gets injured or hurt.
