LED Bike lane lights in Copenhagen
2 years ago
New lighting system to help reduce the risk of right turn collisions between cars and cyclists in Copenhagen.
The lights are visible to motorists in their side mirror and when they shouldder check for cyclists.
They are activated when the lights turn green - if one or more cyclist is waiting at the red light and thereby on the sensor beneath the asphalt.
There is also a sensor under the asphalt 25 metres farther back. When a cyclist heading towards the green light triggers it, the lights start flashing, alerting motorists to the prescence of a cyclist.

If they check for cyclist, why is there a need for the lights. If your in front of the line (as a car) you can only see the lights in your side mirror. But do drivers look there, or do they a. look at the light and b. out the side window looking for cyclist / pedestrians. I believe they are place to low (on the ground) and only work if a car is approaching the intersection, not waiting on it. I think it's better to seperate trafficflows, as suggested here. hembrow.blogspot.com/2010/07/not-really-so-great-cycle-path-design.html
