There were some temporary traffic lights on a straight but narrow road. I was in a car at the lights when they turned green. I went through the temporary area where there were roadworks and met a cyclist coming towards me who had gone through the red light on the other side. The road was so narrow that it was difficult to pass the cyclist easily.
I was wondering if the cyclist was in the right to go through the red light knowing that the road was really narrow and being able to see that cars and himself would have difficulty passing.
If there had been a lorry on that stretch then they would not be able to pass each other.
I think if I had been the cyclist at the red light I would have waited for the green light rather than risk being squeezed.
What do others think?
