Warning Stokes Croft traffic lights

I have discovered that if I am cycling away from the city center and traveling up Stokes Croft the temporary traffic lights to bypass the road works do not give me enough time to clear the road works if they change shortly after I have crossed them.

Today I found myself confronted by a number of cars and a very angry bus driver who acoused me of jumping a red light. I am sure that younger and fitter cyclists would be OK though.

Good luck out there on your bike, it is a crazy world and it is not helped when the infrastruture that is suppose to keep us safe works against us and in this case makes cycling considerably more dangerous.
