A cross-sectional observational study was conducted using a covert video camera to record cyclists at 10 sites across metropolitan Melbourne, Australia from October 2008 to April 2009. In total, 4225 cyclists faced a red light and 6.9% were non-compliant. The main predictive factor for infringement was direction of travel, cyclists turning left (traffic travels on the left-side in Australia) had 28.3 times the relative odds of infringement compared to cyclists who continued straight through the intersection. Presence of other road users had a deterrent effect with the odds of infringement lower when a vehicle travelling in the same direction was present (OR = 0.39, 95% CI 0.28\u20130.53) or when other cyclists were present (OR = 0.26, 95% CI 0.19\u20130.36). Findings suggest that some cyclists do not perceive turning left against a red signal to be unsafe and the opportunity to ride through the red light during low cross traffic times influences the likelihood of infringement.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\n.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bv.com.au\/file\/file\/MUARC%20red%20running.pdf\">https:\/\/www.bv.com.au\/file\/file\/MUARC%20red%20running.pdf<\/a><br \/>\n&#8230;<br \/>\nCyclist crash involvement as a result of red light non-compliance has been found to be low in the United Kingdom<br \/>\n&#8230;<br \/>\noldId.20110502141334693<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>a b s t r a c t This study determined the rate and associated factors of red light infringement among urban commuter cyclists.
