Brookline Asking For Feedback About Idaho Stops
Written by Boston Biker on Sep 17In case you didn’t know, the Idaho Stop is when cyclists are allowed to treat stop signs like yields, and red lights like stop signs. Idaho was the first to try it out, and more or less its been pretty ok.
Saw this tweet from the Brookline PD today…asking for feedback about said Idaho Stops.
Feedback welcome, should we allow cyclists to use Idaho Stop’s? Not at all? Perhaps during heavy commuter hours? Certain roads?

I saw if you are going to do it, it has to be all the time all roads, otherwise its just too confusing. As far as I know it would require a change in the law, and would for sure need to be accompanied by a huge education campaign.
What do you think?
