> dedicated light phases for bikes help far more than lanes.

We have that in SF and in the year before COVID I basically spent every morning commute berating at least one person that tried to cross in front of me on a bike-only light. It's really hard for Americans to give up the right-turn-on-red.

In NYC they just hand out tickets like candy to people who don't know that right-turn-on-red is illegal through essentially the whole city. In 2019 though I didn't see any enforcement at all of bike-protection lights and lanes.

This is the perfect use-case for cameras. Here in .nl you dont get a ticket from a police officer. The camera takes the picture and the fine is there in your mailbox the next week ;-)
