Watch an average busy intersection with traffic lights, as they turn

On my motorcycle commute yesterday, at 6 sets of lights, none.

Next?

It happens a lot in Adelaide with right turns. Usually because 3
people are queued in the intersection and they all turn on the amber
and red, then 2 more, then there's a moment's gap, then the other side
turns greeen.

Lots less in Sydney because the red/green gap is far shorter.

Stand at an intersection used by bicycles. Count the number of red
light runners as a percentage of bicycles. Count the number of red
lights runners as percentage of cars.
