Bikes are already the majority of peak time traffic in a number of key routes in central London so implementing cycle-specific lights actually maximises traffic capacity in terms of people per hour (unfortunately many traffic engineers think in terms of metal boxes per hour and that isn't the same thing as people per hour...)

Something also done in other countries is a "green wave" phasing of lights so if bikes stick at a particular steady pace, they get a series of greens.

Just because they won't be implemented on all junctions doesn't mean it can't be done where they will deliver benefits.

A problem with HGVs in London at the moment is that they simply aren't spread out in time.  They are currently banned from 9pm to 7am so there is a large surge of them on the roads at exactly the same time as morning peak commuter traffic.    Weekly day cycling in central London is very "peaky" and in comparison there really aren't that many people cycling off-peak.

Many cities simply ban large HGVs so distribution is done by smaller vehicles.  Large construction sites like Crossrail have a traffic management plan so they don't have lorries on the streets at peak times and this needs to be extended to smaller sites.

Training has its place but it is really one of the least effective ways of reducing risk.  Designing out the risk in the first place is by far and away more effective.
