At some Red Lights in NYC, Cyclists Now Get Head Start

NYC DOT has implemented a new program where it is allowing cyclists at 50 intersections where there is already an existing LPI (Leading Pedestrians Interval), to get a head start on traffic while light is still red.  An LPI is designed to give pedestrians a 7 second head start on cars to avoid being hit in crosswalks or have their rights of way violated. Essentially this is a no-brainer as all the lights are red in all directions during the sequence, so it allows cyclists to proceed.
