Didn't Oregon just change the law to be that cyclist didn't have to stop at stop signs, just slow down? Still need to stop at lights, just not signs? Not the smartest of laws... But if that is the case, I don't think they can ticket you for not stopping unless traffic was coming and you impeded the flow of traffic.



-------------- Original message --------------



 The Portland Police are watching this intersection for

cyclists entering Broadway from the north and not

stopping at the stop sign. If you commute from NE you

might be familiar with it as it's a popular way onto

Broadway from NE Vancouver.



Anyway, I got pulled over this morning along with two

other cyclists. We recieved written warnings but the

officer told us that they are watching the

intersection closely. I think their main concern is

safety as Broadway is a pretty busy street. The

intersection has great sight distance though!



Anyway just a warning for any commuters from NE.
