Bicyclists can treat a stop sign as a yield sign and roll through the intersection during light traffic, under a new Washington state law that takes effect Thursday [today!].
@lachesis "The law regarding traffic lights remains the same. Bicyclists must fully stop and wait for a green light. But if a signal completes a full cycle without giving the bike a green light, a rider may proceed on red."
I've done this in my Fiat occasionally, because it's so small it doesn't always trip the weight sensor. >_>
