MODERATORS
As a cyclist I agree. So many want to be whatever is most convenient for them at the moment. Pedestrian, vehicle, whatever, I'm sick of it too.
They put up a light specifically for the bikes. I watch bikes blow through that light far more than I’ve ever seen them stop.
This particular T intersection is pretty dangerous. The traffic from the right doesn’t ever stop unless the bike light trips. The traffic to the left only gets a red for either the bikes or traffic turning. The limit is like 50mph(~80kph) which means people are doing ~10 over that pretty regularly. The amount of bikes that get hit or nearly hit because they incorrectly assume the traffic to the right is gonna stop because the traffic to the left is stopped is insane.
Blame Google for the blurry pic…
Edit to rotate the pic to correlate better to the directions.
