[quote=Anonymous]The basic premise of the original post in this thread was that this change will lead to a huge increase in accidents, but meanwhile, the data seems to indicate that the Idaho stop makes bicycling significantly safer, as DCist notes (https://dcist.com/story/22/09/21/dc-moves-to-ban-right-turn-on-red-allow-idaho-stop-cyclists/): "Idaho first passed this law in the 1980s, hence why it’s called the Idaho stop. Idaho saw a 13% decrease in bike crashes after the law was passed. Delaware passed a similar law five years ago and saw a 23% decrease in bike crashes. Nine states total allow the practice."[/quote]
