<description><![CDATA[City of Boston officials have installed a traffic light specifically for cyclists heading east at the BU Bridge intersection, a hot spot for crashes. About 2,000 bicyclists pass through the intersection each day, according to city data. (A second light for cyclists has been installed at the intersection of Comm Ave. and Carlton St.)

The new system gives a green light to cyclists so that they get a head start and avoid a â€œright hookâ€â€”the collision occurring when a cyclist moves forward as a car makes a right-hand turn. Such lights are a preferred strategy in Copenhagen, where 40 percent of the population uses a bicycle for any trip two miles or less.

Whether bicyclists and cars will honor them in Boston remains to be seen. But bicyclists can get a $20 ticket for running one of the dedicated lights as well as for running a regular traffic light.]]></description>
