I'd heard of this but sort of forgot the details: The *Idaho stop* is the common name for a law that allows cyclists <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclists> to treat a stop sign <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_sign> as a yield sign <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yield_sign>, and a red light <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_light> as a stop sign. It first became law in Idaho <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idaho> in 1982, but has not been adopted elsewhere. A limited form of the law called "Stop as Yield", that deals only with stop signs, has expanded to parts of Colorado and been considered in several other states. Advocates argue that current law criminalizes normal cycling behavior, and that the Idaho stop makes cycling easier and safer and places the focus where it should be: on yielding the right-of-way.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idaho_stop Curious if there's state law that would disallow Madison/Dane county from passing such a thing. -- a Andy Bach, afb...@gmail.com 608 658-1890 cell 608 261-5738 wk
