Another reason to love my hometown:) Though I do love my adopted city of Edmonton too but as a back in the saddle again rider I can appreciate anything like this to make me more confident as a bike in traffic cyclist What a great idea.

The only real difference is I will move farther to the left if the car behind wants to turn right. I note with Portland boxes that cars aren't allowed to turn right at all.

They reflect the fact that, at the lights, if you aren't visible within the edges of a driver's windshield, you might as well not exist. Now I ride as if there is a green box at every junction - I move to the front of the line, then stop away from the curb. Few drivers seem to object.
