Separate bike lanes, separate green-time for cyclists at traffic lights, higher frequencey of green-time for cyclists at traffic lights, treating cyclists as a separate but first-class traffic user. These are all ways to alleviate red-light running. As it is, too often a cyclist is seen as a slow, narrow car in the rules. If you are gracious about it as a cyclist, by not actually occupying the entire lane as the rules suggest you do, you get doored from one side, (nearly) swiped off the road by passing cars on the other, and at traffic lights right-turning cars blindly run into you. Also note: while a high-speed cyclist can kill or seriously injure a pedestrian in an accident in rare cases, a car going at a typical urban-road speed will kill or seriously injure a cyclist or pedestrian in most cases. I think that, as with guns, the onus is on the person wielding the deadly device to handle it with sufficient care in the circumstances they find themselves in.
