I am interested in that question because I recently had the opportunity with the Committee on Environment and Climate Action to visit the Netherlands. It is interesting there, where there is a very high cycling culture, that they make less use of red lights and allow many more what would be left turns for cyclists here and in their case would be right turns where the light is red for oncoming traffic and it is safe to do so. They have zones where there are sharks teeth signs to indicate to motorists to yield to cyclists. On the issue of red lights, and I agree with the camera enforcement, which is a good thing, we also need to incorporate those other sorts of ideas into the thinking of the working group.
