    Look for this sign, you’ll have to go to France though.

    Apparently cyclists can now legally jump the lights in one of Europe’s busiest cties. I still think I’ll avoid it though.

    Brussels as well, great isn’t it. Unfortunately they also often have a big sign saying that you don’t have priority so the signposts are getting s little full up 🙂

    Duplicate thread!

    No problem with what they are proposing. You can doit in a car in N.America, its a lot safer on a bike to jump red lights than in a car.

    Of course! The highway code doesn’t apply as I don’t pay road tax.

    All the time, but no-one notices because I don’t wear hi-viz.

    All the time, but because I don’t wear hi-viz, no-one ever sees me do it.

    yes, usually at pedestrian crossings where people have pressed the button then crossed and long gone and nobody is waiting.

    EDIT:I will now go and give myself a firm beating for sinning 😉

    When I head out at 6am prework and the timers on the lights just change for no reason… but only after a glance around 🙂

    e have a few low usage roads locally with traffic light sensors that don’t detect a bicycle – so it’s either sit for ages waiting for a car to come and trigger them or run the red
