As an aside ... those advanced stop boxes are often staggered at many intersections. This is to allow (as you probably already know) heavy/long vehicles (like buses and trucks) to navigate easier through city centers. Those that park in those spots risk getting clobbered by said long vehicles ... or move out of their way. That is usually easier said than done for cars ...
Personally ... I'm quite happy to see cyclists first in the firing line for all vehicles taking the shortcut through intersections (but that's just me).
I guess everyone's favorite vehicle have their downside ...
