That's actually more dangerous as bikes tend to get cars turning into them when they turn right.
(It's hard to see a bike at speed going straight when a car is turning right.)
Here's an image that illustrates the danger: http://www.sfbike.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Right-Turn.jpg http://www.sfbike.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Right-Turn....
- kerkeslager 9y ago> (It's hard to see a bike at speed going straight when a car is turning right.) This is addressed by having a "no turn on red" sign as I suggested: you don't have to see the bicyclist at all because the bicyclist shouldn't be in the intersection at all when you're turning with a green turn arrow.
- themaninthedark 9y agoWhy is a bike going at speed when the light is red? Shouldn't the bike also stop at the red light?
- kerkeslager 9y agoThe bike isn't going at speed when the light is red (at least, if they're following the law). This is when the green turn arrow should be lit: when bikes aren't moving.
