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.
