Thanks Ken!



That intersection is a part of my commute every morning.

As the visibility is so good I do roll through that stop

most of that time. I would not say that I am blowing through it but

I do not come to a complete stop. Most of the time I creep up

to the stop line almost slow enough to come to a trackstand.

The real danger is the people entering the road from your right on that

street parallel to Flint. Most of the time it is a big truck of some kind

coming from the City of Portland motorpool garage!

Thanks for the heads up!

Flint.





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.
