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 ๐Ÿ™‚

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 ๐Ÿ˜‰

When I head out at 6am prework and the timers on the lights just change for no reason... but only after a glance around ๐Ÿ™‚

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
