Running reds...

[The Shaggy D.A.]

Green : Go.
Amber : Go faster.
Red : Go faster, paying attention to steering.

Saw a cyclist at a red light today... On the top line of a T junction, if you see what I mean. She got off, pushed her bike through the junction on the road, and got back on on the other side. Mental.

Yep, pushing on the road.

Surely it depends on the junction.

Pitiful ASCII diagram:

If you are heading straight on, at the left side of the road, in the cycle lane, then you have no chance of coming into conflict with the right lane unless they're just paying zero attention.

So the red light... well... it just doesn't make sense for bicycles.

Running red lights is the same concept as speeding or any similar act of illegality, it can be done safely but doing it creates more danger than if you did not.

I don't think cycles should follow the same laws as cars. They operate on a totally different basis.

Anyway they should have separate lanes everywhere in an ideal world. More people would use them to commute and travel then.

If the sensors dont pickup my bike then i go if it is clear, I will wait for a minute or two though.

Common sense should prevail in situations like this, but alas we know the law does not know what common sense is.

There's a difference between 'cyclists follow different rule set' and 'do whatever the f you like'.

Pedestrians operate under a different rule set, for example.

map, you seem to be acting rather obtusely.

A red light is not a red light. There's a huge difference between a massive intersection that no cyclist would reasonably go through, and a T junction as earlier stated where running it would not impinge on any car drivers at all.

[JonB]

map, have you ever crossed a pedestrian crossing when the red man is showing, or started when the green man was flashing?

Cars also have the issue of easily getting stuck in queues and blocking intersections while bicycles just... don't. Worst case in most places, you pick the bike up and walk on the path.
