Those are the markings of a society that hasn't (yet?) adapted to cycling and cyclists. Here in The Netherlands cycling lanes makes drivers more aware of the fact that cyclists can use the road. The lanes are done in red asphalt, while the normal road is done in black. Drivers tend to steer clear of the lanes.
As for the "smart lights", they are pretty much the norm here for all intersections. Cyclists usually have a button which they can press.
- barrkel 17y agoWhen one is cycling along the road and needs to turn left (assuming right-hand driving), one will want to be near the middle of the road, so that when the way becomes clear, there isn't multiple lanes of traffic to cross. If the junction is also controlled by traffic lights, where is the button they must press? Is it in the road itself? Or is it another one of those situations where cyclists can't go the same route that cars do, and must cross using multiple signals, possibly taking several minutes?
