As a general point though.. Cars running red lights tend to do it as the
light is changing to red. Many cyclists will run a red light regardless
of the colour when they actually arrive at the signal. I think these
are significantly different behaviours.


Absolutely. Cars will speed up to charge across a red light. Cyclists will
slow down and cross if safe[1].

I regularly don'r see much slowing down taking place. It is equally
common for cyclists to continue through the light at the pace they
arrived at.
