But the stop sign law for bikes changed last year. Cyclist can treat stop signs as yield

signs. You DO NOT have to stop IF the traffic allows.

 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.
