Default Cycle friendly roundabout claims its first victim

Perhaps the above shows the problem, cyclists do not know traffic lights
apply to bicycles.

There are a couple of obvious solutions to this

1: Keep the cycle light at green and make motorvehicleists press a button to make their light change for 10 seconds with sensors to make sure the light does not change when there are cyclists using the crossing.

2: Remove the lights and give Primary Vehicle Users absolute priority with instructions for motorvehiclists to dismount and push their toys through the crossing.
