Default Want to use the cycle box at junctions legally?

Well, get off your **** and poke your local authority into getting involved in this trial by suggesting sites they could use:

Just another inside tip from your friendly neighbourhood civil engineer

Well theres never any cyclist in them so I use them now... they are normally up the road already by a good few metres, well apart from those few that do stop.
Might be a better idea to try it outside of London where the cycle box rules are more likely to be followed.

i have to use the cycle box where i live because at night the sensor cant see my bike if it stopped behind the cycles box.

i figured this after sitting at a red light for several minutes, id say use them people over shoot junctions all the time,

Just make sure there no cyclist in there haha

I use them all the time, but I don't use them when I'm on my pushbike, last place I want to be is in front of all the maniacs, unless I can do 0-60 faster than them.

No, make sure they are no Police watching you enter the box after the Red light.
Although City of London Police are the only ones I believe that ticket you for it.
