The last part of the article: "Protesters are calling for the city and California to adopt the Idaho Stop law, introduced in Idaho in 1982, which allows cyclists to treat stop signs as give way signs, and red lights as stop signs, allowing them to proceed if the junction is clear. This allows them to clear the junction faster, increasing rider safety and clearing the way for motor traffic.City policymaker, John Avalos, who endorsed the Idaho Stop following the protest, said: "The law makes absolute sense."Stop signs are major hindrance to bike safety and have an impact on pedestrian safety,"
marko35s Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 That's a very well written article, makes some good points.
Dazshell Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 But I thought that's what we do anyway! And if we don't, the taxis do!
Bateleur1 Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 One thing I noticed in the area that we live in, there are very few stop signs. Yield signs and circles are at the order of the day.
