Excerpts from Al’s link (emphasis added):
My commentary: If properly drafted, the proposed change to implement Idaho’s 27-year old law here sounds good to me. This would eliminate the #1 complaint drivers have regarding cyclists and unlawful behavior, simply by codifying a practice that some riders currently employ, while establishing ground rules.
Much as motorists now enjoy “right turn permitted without stopping” at certain marked intersections, this will allow cyclists, whose vehicles have different operating characteristics and safety impacts than automobiles, to treat stop signs in a different manner under the correct circumstances.
I say let em ride through the lights!
