I beleive the law refers to it being an offence to 'proceed beyond the stop line'. There is no stop line here so I think there is no requirement to stop on red.

Of course one should proceed with caution even on green as there may be pedestrian flows to negotiate.

There is a shared use cycle/foot path on the right there. If you were pulling out of there on to the road I would suggest this is treated the same as pulling out from a pavement (e.g a parked car partly on a pavement) and thus you would be expected to give way to any traffic already on the road. The light presumably cannot be considered a road-traffic signal as it does not control *road* traffic?

My interpretation of that junction has always been that the traffic light does not apply to cyclists coming off the raised pavement / road onto Queen Victoria Street. What sequencing does that light go green on anyway? For the rest of the junction, it's green in both directions along Queen Victoria Street, then (if the button has been pressed) the green man for pedestrians to cross on every side, and then it goes green for the traffic coming down Queen Street from Cheapside. Is there a fourth sequence for that part or does it run with another phase?

There is no stop line here so I think there is no requirement to stop on red.

When there's no stop line you have to stop before the primary light, as explained in this thread.

Weird one that, there's a similar sort of 'advisory' set of traffic lights in a weird pedestrian-cyclelane crossing thing here in nottingham:

Thing is, you can't see the nearest traffic light when you're stopped at the line (no idea why it's there at all), the the one on the other side of the road has been rotated to face the other way, so basically you can't actually see them at all.

Bloke from the council said not to worry about them, the whole thing was a bit of a mess and it's mostly there for safety. Nothing legally conclusive about whether you could jump them or not.

As an 'amusing' aside, I knew exactly where that was straight away as my sister lives nearby, and my dad once rear-ended someone on the street opposite.

With his car. He hit someone with his car. I dunno some people.
