advanced stop line

Cycling-specific measures that can be applied at traffic signals include the use of advanced stop lines and/or bypasses.

Notable implementation of advanced stop lines include:

What would help cyclists is if the Police would enforce the advanced stop lines in the green bike 'boxes' at busy junctions.

Advanced stop lines are implemented widely in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Denmark, and other European countries.

These are augmented by an advanced stop line to aid cyclist visibility at the junction and to provide an early start to the turning manoeuvre (Figure 6.24).

E.g. Advanced stop lines that don't require you to be an olympic sprint cyclist to get out of the way of cars - decently advanced.

There's a specific proposal that would make a lot of difference to my adherence to junction controls - namely moving the advanced stop line forward so you don't have to be an Olympic sprint cyclist to get away from traffic turning left.

An advanced stop line (ASL), also called advanced stop box or bike box, are road markings at signalised road junctions allowing certain types of vehicle a head start when the traffic signal changes from red to green.

There may also be a special area a few meters in advance of the stop line where cyclists may legally wait but not motor vehicles; this advanced stop line is often painted with a different road surface with greater friction and a high color, both for the benefit of cyclists and for other vehicles.
