[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For all cyclists to obey traffic laws (especially stop signs). [/quote]

Why do you care so much about this? You always post the same nonsense attack on cycling. I have literally NEVER seen a rider fail to stop at a stop sign of red light. This literally never happens, except in your crazy world.

Go away troll. [/quote]

DP:  I have never posted about bicyclists on DCUM and I do not live in DC.  I drive along Four Mile Run in Arlington to work 7 days a week. A bike path runs parallel to Four Mile Run, but bikers often use the roadway because there are walkers and runners on the bike path.  Every single day I see bikers run red lights. This is how they do it: They approach the red light, slow slightly, and if no traffic is in their path they go through the red light.  Instead of "right turn on red" they practice "go forward on red."  I don't care one way or the other, but I see bike riders running red lights daily.  Maybe it is phenomenon in Arlington only.  But it sounds like the bike riders in DC are more careful.  [/quote]
They proposed Idaho Stops in DC with the justification that cyclists were doing it safely anyway,

It’s a bit odd for cyclists to now argue that they are not doing it. [/quote]

Idaho stop?[/quote]
For bicycles only, they would not need to stop at a stop sign (it becomes a yield for them) and stop lights would become equivalent to stop signs.

Everyone else, cars and pedestrians alike, would be expected to continue obeying the traffic rules. [/quote]
