What is the function of advanced stop lines?

To increase speed limits
To indicate bus lanes
To allow cyclists to position in front of traffic
To separate turning traffic

The correct answer is: To allow cyclists to position in front of traffic

Advanced stop lines serve a specific purpose in enhancing the safety and visibility of cyclists at traffic signals. By allowing cyclists to position themselves in front of motor vehicles at traffic lights, these stop lines help to improve the interaction between different types of road users. This designated area gives cyclists the opportunity to start moving ahead of cars when the light turns green, which can reduce the risk of them being overlooked by drivers during a left turn or when the vehicles begin to move. The placement of advanced stop lines ultimately promotes safer road conditions for cyclists, making it easier for them to travel through intersections without being trapped among larger vehicles. This design is part of broader efforts to encourage cycling by improving traffic flow and safety.
