Cycling in Waterloo Region

Good. I was wondering exactly what a bike box was, and how it was used. Thanks for the explanation.

Can a vehicle enter the bike box if there is no cyclist in front of them using the bike box, or must they always stop before it?

Nope, the intent is that a cyclist may come up and occupy the box at any time during the red signal.

I have *heard* city staff suggest that right turns on red are also not permitted when there is a bike box, but given there is no signage, education, or any other other way for anyone to know this, it's the "tree in a forest with nobody to hear it" equivalent of a rule, so realistically, I would consider this the exception.
