We have signals like these on the main bike route downtown. It's frustrating because the bike signals don't even activate every cycle, so you have to hope the sensor can see you (it usually doesn't).

The timing logic seems to be "It's too unsafe to let bikes go whenever anyone else has a green, so the bikes have to get their own phase. But that would slow everyone else down so the bike phase only lasts two seconds." Somehow that doesn't apply to simultaneous car greens and ped walk signs.
