Your evaluation that the red flag on your bicycle may be more
dangerous than without may be correct.  Motorists seem to be always
pushing the limits, such as the speed limit.  I ride on busy streets
also.  I do not use a red flag, but I do make use of the white line
on the street when I can.  I find that many motorist will drive as
close to me as they can without crossing that line.  On a narrow
street this makes me very nervous.
