I saw some cycling today which left me agasp.
A guy jumped the lights at the Euston Road/Portland Place junction or more accurately plodded across them as though they were green.
I think he was looking at the light for the East Bound traffic and assumed incorrectly the light was red for Westbound which isn't the case as there is about a 20 second gap in the sequence.
It was a very close call with a car.
If you are going to jump lights don't jump lights across a road like that and if you do then make sure you know the sequence of the lights. FFS
