I came across this picture in Facebook:
http://tinyurl.com/44tdbg8 The photo, taken in Malmö Sweden apparently shows a traffic light with an extra light for bicycles. Do these exist anywhere else?

They're quite common. Some places also have lights for pedestrians. Sure, lights for pedestrians all over Europe (except UK). I realize that I haven't been to the Netherlands for a few years.

New UK pedestrian crossings have the green/red walking 'man' symbol visible only to your immediate left or right (i.e. not on the other side of the crossing), placed on the traffic lights.
