While the driver-aimed lights don't turn red for us often, at least the "wait" red crossing lights in the UK are only advisory and can be treated as a yield/give-way without penalty so we don't wait if it's clear.
The French signs clearly allowing bikes to pass red in some directions seem better, though.
So in France bicyclist are allowed to ride through intersections when traffic lights are red for their direction, telling the traffic where bicyclists are riding from to stop, but bicyclists can ride through?
Nah, it's just that you can cycle through red when it doesn't affect any motorists, such as a right turn, or straight ahead when there is no right. People cycling through red have to yield to other cycle traffic and all walkers, of course.
Okay, I assume that is what is done, everywhere, no?
I seen this done by all types of people, but becoming less frequent because of such people/drivers, in the cities. Never seen a ticket given, I think there are no laws against it, when done with no traffic, just like jaywalking.
It is done widely but it's often illegal in at least some layouts and some places have police that will ticket it, often inconsistently.
And let's not start with the "jaywalking" made up by the motor companies a century ago.
