Editing Traffic (section)

====Protected intersection for bicycles====
A number of features make this [[protected intersection]]. A corner refuge island, a setback crossing of the pedestrians and cyclists, generally between 1.5–7 metres of setback, a forward stop bar, which allows cyclists to stop for a [[traffic light]] well ahead of motor traffic who must stop behind the crosswalk. Separate signal staging or at least an advance green for cyclists and pedestrians is used to give cyclists and pedestrians no conflicts or a head start over traffic. The design makes a right turn on red, and sometimes left on red depending on the geometry of the intersection in question, possible in many cases, often without stopping.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.protectedintersection.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Falbo_ProtectedIntersection_Transcript1.pdf |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20221009/http://www.protectedintersection.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Falbo_ProtectedIntersection_Transcript1.pdf |archive-date=2022-10-09 |url-status=live |title=Out of the Box Transcript.docx |access-date=2018-09-20}}</ref>

This type of intersection is common in the [[bicycle-friendly]] [[Netherlands]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://bicycledutch.wordpress.com/2014/02/23/junction-design-in-the-netherlands/|title=Junction design in the Netherlands|date=23 February 2014}}</ref>
