New traffic sign for bikes

Belgium is introducing a new traffic sign which allows bikers to ignore a red traffic light. Under certain circumstances bikers will be allowed to turn right. This is quite remarkable, allthough it already exists in the US for cars since a long time.

The secretary of state of mobility, Etienne Schouppe (CD&V) introduced the traffic sign this week. It is still unknown how many signs will be end up in the streets. Each city decides independently whether it will use them or not. Bruno De Lille (groen), Brussels' secretary of mobility already confirmed that Brussels will use the signs.
