MODERATORS
Your source says that bikes should still come to a full stop at red lights though?
Doesn't mean you can't proceed after stopping despite the light still being red. It says that is better than actually obeying the red light and stopping till it turns green.
Nobody said they couldn't. The comment I was responding to said that studies show that it's safer for bikes to not come to a full stop at red lights, and I correctly pointed out that that's completely false.
Edit: you yourself wrote a comment saying basically the exact same thing I did - why the heck are you trying to nitpick me here?
Yeah, just clarifying.
Edit: I'm not trying to be hostile; I'm just trying my best to be helpful... Please tell me if there's something I could improve on.
