Portland tried adding these things called bike green boxes at the most dangerous intersections. They are large areas at the front of dangerous intersections painted green in which only bikes are allowed to be on a red light. So far it hasn't worked out so well.

Personally I won't ride my bike in areas that need things like bike boxes to stay safe. I commute 2 days a week on my bike for a total of twenty miles mostly in moderate to low traffic areas.
