Its a great idea. Why make bikes fit in with a traffic control system designed around heavy dangerous vehicles with a large power reserve (i.e. they are fine to stop regularly) when they don't need to?

At the moment all the traffic lights lights do is bunch the bikes up at the front of the cars, then the cars all have to overtake, then it all repeats at teh next lights.

This is also law in most US states for cars I believe.
