If there is a lot of traffic, carefully planning your route will make it easier. Avoid crossing or left turns at busy roads that have no traffic lights Roads that you would otherwise skip in a car can be very good for riding.
If you need to get across a busy road instead of waiting for the stars to align for it to be clear in both directions at once it is often easier to turn right onto it, get over to the left turning lane, then turn left on the next road up. Sometimes you can even turn left down an alley just before the road you need to cross, cut between some buildings and turn left back to the street you were originally on.
