In the UK, traffic lights prioritizing cyclists over cars are being tested at a toucan crossing in Solihull, utilizing AI sensors to detect cyclists from up to 30 meters away and trigger red lights for motorists. This initiative aims to provide smoother journeys for cyclists and is part of a broader push by the Labour government to invest in cycling and walking infrastructure to alleviate pressure on the NHS. Richard Parker, the Labour Mayor of the West Midlands, emphasized the importance of road safety and the potential of AI to enhance it. In Dublin, the city council has introduced flashing amber arrows at left-turning junctions to remind drivers to yield to cyclists, promoting safer interactions between vehicles and cyclists. These changes reflect a growing recognition of the need to accommodate vulnerable road users and encourage active travel.
