I was biking on Columbia Street last night, going from the rail path to the Canadian Tire on Weber. When I got to Weber the light was red and there wasn't much traffic in either direction (no cars on my side), so I got into the left turn lane. Then I saw cars appear facing me on the other side and figured I'd be waiting there for a while, but my bike actually triggered the advanced green! I never expect that.
Typically at busy intersections I feel more comfortable dismounting and crossing one/both directions on foot if I'm doing a left turn. It can also speed up travel a little if the lights aren't in my favour.
