Replying to a comment on New Bike Boxes Debut in Portland!

I don't actually get how these help cyclists.. All I see are big green boxes that let cyclists get in front of cars, which seems like a silly place to be.

THEN, drivers can't turn right on red at these intersections, meaning that instead they'll be rushing to turn right early or late, crossing the bike lane, and making it more likely they'll cut off cyclists. As a driver and cyclist, I think these suck for both drivers and cyclists.

Someone, please enlighten me. What's the point?
