Even worse than being a pedestrian is being a cyclist. Right on red makes it dangerous to get in front of the light queue by passing on the right

  Or, we could just ban this unsafe practice of cutting in the light queue and make bicycles follow the rules of the road like other vehicles.

    Then car drivers will complain that the slow bicycles are blocking them.

  When I was a cyclist, at least when there were multiple lanes, I'd hop to the left of cars turning right. When there is one lane, you do sort of have to pay attention to blinkers. Well designed bike lanes, where they exist, typically already follow this pattern. If you're going straight it's pretty silly to be to the right of traffic that is turning right.

  As another cyclist, agreeed, but to be fair, cyclists run reds and traffic controls all of the damn time. Shits maddening.

    Check your local laws to make sure YOU actually know the law. I get yelled at in Colorado for obeying the law on my bike to a T. Stop signs operate as yields, red lights as stop signs. Why? Because as a cyclist the most dangerous time is when I’m stopped. I can see around far better than you can in a car and can safely get through stop signs and red lights in ways you cannot. Get hit a couple times by people turning right on red right into you and you might start to get it. The relative danger is also laughable, would you equate the danger of me on my bike running a red to a Ram 3500 running a red light?
