However, I don't really understand what's going on in the second photo. It looks like cyclists have their own lane before and after the intersection. What purpose does the big green area at the front of the lane serve?
That is the cycle box I was referring to. At red lights, vehicles are not allowed to enter the box. It gives cyclists a head start at the lights.
