Thursday Morning Riddle

I’m a bend in the sidewalk where streets share a light;
Where a boxer can rest between rounds of a fight;
To confront without leaving escape from the plight;
And controlling the goods in a market outright.

Who am I?

UPDATE: Riddle solved by Asher… within 60 seconds of its posting! See comments for answer.

    CORNER is correct. Way to go, Asher!

    My first thought was Intersect-Reflect-Protect-Unchecked, but it didn’t really work out. (Does a boxer reflect? Maybe a misbehaving child would have worked better there.)

    The rhyme I ended up using was much more versatile, and I could have kept going: where an angle is right; when a turn can be tight; on The Wire, a unit of drug-selling might…

    And it looks like Asher buzzed in within 60 seconds of the riddle being posted. Not only is that a new Thursday Morning Riddle record, but it is an unbeatable one. Nice reflexes, Asher!
