Also the difference in time riding along Tuam street from the hospital to Fitzgerald ave, between complying with the bike red lights or not, can be over 5mins when having to wait for nearly every set of lights. Multiply that by two for the same issue on St Asaph heading the other direction and you can soak up nearly an hour a week sitting at lights for 4km’s(~2km each way) of cycling.
