Cycling Through Red Lights

SEKTIMG Cycling Through Red Lights Transport for London has conducted a survey at five different locations around London and marked the number of cyclists who jumped the red lights. A total of 7502 cyclists were surveyed across all of the sites. 78% of the total number of cyclists observed are male and 22% are women. Violation is not endemic, but 1 in 6 (16%) of cyclists do jump a red light. No significant gender gap 17% Dudes An average of 16% violated red lights, whilst the remaining 84% obeyed the traffic signals. Therefore it can be concluded that the majority of cyclists do not ride through red lights. Most cyclists are angels 13% Dudettes 84% Men are slightly more likely to violate red lights (17%) than women (13%) although there doesn't seem to be a significant gender gap. Red lights violations occur more during the PM peak time than the AM peak time. 16% Obey traffic signals Jump red lights Most red light violations happened when cycling straight ahead The majority of accidents at red lights are caused by motorists 71% 54% Left 24% Right 13% 18% 4% Only 4% of pedestrians injury in London in a collision caused by red light jumping involve cyclists, whereas 71% occurred when a car driver jumps a red light and 13% when a motorcyclist does. 54% of red light violations were for cycling straight ahead. 24% for turning left, and 18% for turning right. From the media coverage, it often feels that running red lights is primarily a violation by cyclists. However the percentage of accidents suggests that the danger posed by motor cars is much greater.
