Do these exist anywhere else?

Yes, in Germany: Kiel, Hamburg, Berlin and I'm sure in other cities, too.

I should have said that the thing that intrigued me is that the cycle
traffic light is bright blue.

If a simple blue sign on top of the other three intrigued you, what
about this one in Berlin?

If you like that, then how about the four-way-green lights for
bicyclists in several dutch cities?

and that most Dutch cyclists ignore traffic lights and traffic rules.


As they do in the UK.

Not quite.

Jesper Lauridsen:
They're quite common. Some places also have lights for pedestrians.

Somewhere at home I have a picture taken in Geneva showing a traffic
signal with 7 lamps lit. There were separate signals for cars, taxis,
buses, bicycles, and of course pedestrians -- and two of them had a
red-and-yellow phase.

It was on Rue des Alpes, if anyone would like to look for it in Google
Street View. Probably around coordinates 46.21,6.145

One assumes other traffic is STOPPED in all four directions? ;-) (I'm
not sure any still do, but many US cities used to do that for pedestrian
traffic - three cycles; N-S vehicles, E-W vehicles, and four-way
pedestrian traffic.)

One assumes correctly.

Yes, here in Berlin.
