Ok so I was on youtube and this pops up.
Driver and Cyclist Safety Tips - YouTube
Now with the 1st section upto about 1min 20sec look at the position of the cyclist while the box lines light up light green.
"cyclists you should not pass the 2nd line of the advanced stop box"
"mototists, when the light is red should not pass the 1st or 2nd line"
"if the light changes from green to amber you should stop before the 2nd line if you can't stop before the 1st line" - with the cyclist in the box in that space?
I don't always get annoyed by these things but them green boxes are awful imo. You can hardly ever safely reach them, I worked out a while ago that I put myself in more dangerous positions seeking out the boxes than I did sitting still in traffic. When you do reach them often they are "retro fitted" onto existing lights so you then can't see the traffic lights as a cyclist will be looking from 1ft off a line that has been moved forward right upto the crossing and a driver in a car will be looking from 3ft+ off the intended line. If you are lucky you might see a tiny bit of the light but most of the time it's just the hood/cover things.
