But, since Cairo cars look more like golf balls than cars.. I'm not sure it would be the most bike friendly place.

This seems to indicate that there are two primary exceptions to the red light rules.
  • Right turn on red (common across the USA, does one have to actually stop?)
  • Bike path across T intersection (I've stated a few times that it is silly to stop at a T intersection when continuing straight with no vehicles crossing the bike lane.
it's silly to ride to a stop for any motorist-specific traffic signal if there is an unimpeded view and no cross traffic.
