Quite an interesting article about allowing cyclists to act differently to other road users at road signs, and why in fact it can be a good idea. At least it's not written in inflammatory language, and attempts to further, or open, debate.
It's American, and although it talks about Idaho, because the behaviour described has been legal for some time there, apparently this is already the case in other places, including Paris, so not entirely US centric in concept.
Executive summary - let cyclists treat a "stop" as a "yield", and go through red lights with caution, and the stats (they've gathered of course) show it's safer. Quite an interesting little video in the middle too.
