Cyclists who run red lights in London are set to face tougher penalties including higher fines.
The City of London force is considering using community protection warnings and notices to tackle what officials described as 'dangerous, antisocial and nuisance cycling behaviours' in the capital.
The warnings would allow the force to issue fines larger than the standard £50 fixed penalty notices.
A recent study found more than 50 per cent of London cyclists see red lights as optional, BBC News reported.
It comes as more Londoners are beginning to take up cycling on rental bikes amid Tube strikes and traffic jams in the city.
