Dedicated bike boxes provide the following advantages(natbi and ridgeway, 2002)

:Increasing the visibility of bicyclists by allowing them to move to the front of the Queue, in full view of motorists on all sides of an intersection.

:enable bicyclists to manuver to the correct position for turning movements during the red signal phase.

:not significantly increasing delay to motor traffic.

;reduces conflicts between turning bicycles and motor vehicles

: provides a buffer between ped and motorized traffic at crosswalks.
