If you don't already know about Streetfilms... it's an NYC-based site that is all videos about the improvement of public space. It's affiliated with Streetsblog.

Bikeboxes are little areas painted behind crosswalks (and ahead of where cars stop) at intersections that give cyclists priority when the light turns green.

Here is a Streetfilm about how to use them:

You may also find Jonathon Maus' (BikePortland.org) interview with a radio station about the new Bikeboxes being installed in Portland interesting. Jonathan does a great job of responding to the DJs questions calmly and sensibly. The interview is here - look for "BikePortland's Johnathan Maus".
