I have been caught out missing the cycle light going green and I have seen others do the same and let them know as I pass them…

The link to the BBC bell sound is broken. Working link is: https://sound-effects.bbcrewind.co.uk/search?q=07037422

How did the trial of combined walk/bike lights go? I don’t recall seeing any in Chch.

I’m for a bell ring sound!

A case in point is the diagonal crossing of St Asaph St at the end of High St. The cycle signal is very short and the green cycle light unobtrusive.
