Talking to the representative from TRL at yesterday's Cycle City presentations, about the various trials they carried out for TfL at the end of last year, he seemed to be under the impression that a simultaneous green for cyclists was presently legally OK. Unfortunately I have previously spoken to others who are emphatic that this is not the case.
As someone who is not well versed in the intricacies of traffic light installations, is there anyone out there who has a definitive answer (preferably quoting chapter and verse of the relevant regs)?
BTW, I was also gratified to find out that the trials seem to have been more wider-ranging than what has been published (i.e. only being able to show the same aspect as the main signal heads or only having a limited early start).
