“Of all races in an advanced stage of civilization, the American is the least accessible to long views… Always and everywhere in a hurry to get rich, he does not give a thought to remote consequences; he sees only present advantages… He does not remember, he does not feel, he lives in a materialist dream.”
—Moiseide Ostrogorski (1902, 302-303)

Special Green Lights for Cyclists in Copenhagen
At signaled intersections in Copenhagen, bicyclists get a green light before motor vehicles. This allows for bicyclists to "clear out of the intersection", so that they're not in the way when the cars want to get moving. It also solves the problem of bicyclists wanting to make left turns from a bicycle lane on the right hand side of the road. A perfect example of a sensible -- all vehicles are NOT created equal -- solution to roadways which have to accommodate 2 classes of vehicles which travel at fundamentally different speeds. Of course I don't need to add that getting the green light first gives a nice little advantage to commuting bicyclists.
Copenhagen, which already enjoys the highest percentage of bicycle commuters in Europe (about 1/3rd), continues to try and create incentives to encourage people bike rather than drive, something we should be doing, too.
Copied from another list, Bike Austin by another poster, Patrick Goetz,
Best Hopes for Growth in Zero Oil Transportation,
Alan
Denmark has cut their oil consumption from ~375,000 b/day in 1973 to ~200,000 b/day today. They produce about 350,000 b/day in the North Sea and export their savings.
That's the main reason why I systematically run red lights on a bike. It's just too damn dangerous to wait for green and start in among the cars.
(The other reason I do it is because it's fun.)
Being first into the intersection and early on the light gives traffic a big clear shot to see that bike rider. Some are pissed off by this, so what, if they are pissed it means they saw you.
One big caveat. If you want to play this game, no mistakes allowed. You must be 100.00% observant of all cross traffic. The day you race into an intersection on red and somehow miss that last car late on the yellow there is a big big price to pay and no one will have any sympathy, you will have a hard time forgiving yourself. If you make it.
