Not in the Police Scotland sense of allowing cars to stop in ASLs with no risk of punishment, but when used by cyclists, actually benefits drivers:

ASLs speed up driving

I have often thought this and was thinking about it again as more horns blared at a motorist yesterday who was too busy poking at his mobile phone to notice the lights had changed. If there had been a cyclist in the ASL, most likely he would have been revving his engine behind them ready to put the foot down as soon as the amber came on. Therefore cyclists speed up traffic.

It's a bit like those flies which some toilet/urinal manufacturers glazed into their products, to try and persuade their dozier users to aim properly. A cyclist provides a similar target-to-beat for an otherwise content-to-putter-along driver.

I've been told that they are actually bees and this idea was dreamt up by classically-educated Victorians - the Latin for bee being 'apis'.
