I seem to remember a trial which was piloted in London (UK) a few years back which permitted a cyclist to go through a red light if turning left. Can anyone shed any light on how this worked out?
- slavik81 10y agoPresumably fine? It's perfectly acceptable for any sort of vehicle to turn right after stopping at a red light in Alberta, Canada and I've never heard of it causing a problem. I know that seems weird for people where right on red is illegal, but it's really no different than what happens at a stop sign.
- pjbster 10y agoTurns out it was only a proposal which was never tried after all: https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2015/oct/27/cyclists-run-red-lights-paris-london-san-francisco https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2015/oct/27/cyclists-run-... Johnson and Transport for London requested permission for a trial back in 2009, but it never took place. TfL has concentrated instead on remodelling junctions to allow “early release” (where cyclists get a green light before cars) and “hold the left-turning traffic” (keeping cyclists and cars apart on left turns).
