As a cyclist, I must be ALWAYS vigilant! This particular stop sign on the way to the bikes-only path, both amuses and frightens me. Stop? What stop? And this ain’t no “California Rolling Stop!” This is hardly a hesitation, a pause.

A stop sign is a guideline. If there’s an accident and YOU had the stop sign, then you’re at fault. Poof. Simple. Other than that, it’s a guideline only.

Notice the pedestrians that try desperately to get across the street.
