my creative solutions involve a flag pole
Probably the best and simplest solution. I believe recumbent bicycles have these - as did the unlamented Sinclair C5. For those who don't remember, or don't know of, the C5
here it is, complete with vital flagpole. When stuck in slow moving traffic on motorways I always use lane 1 and leave enough space in front so I can dive onto hard shoulder if necessary.

My advanced instructor taught me to always think where I would go, if things went wrong.
My dear old Dad's advice to me when I was nobbut a lad and learning to drive.
