I wouldn't want the right turns at red lights phased out, this is purely a precaution that has to be taken by cyclists. Stay in the lane, behind a car, very simple. Why should the cyclist have the right to squeeze in to the right of a car all the way to the front of the red light? Also, by implementing more rules that favor the cyclist, you are creating a culture of people paying less attention to safety.
