(via Streetsblog) Since 1982 Idaho has made it legal for bikers to roll through stop signs, essentially treating them as yield signs. Well, so far so good and now Oregon thinks its time that their state, being the bike mecca that it is, ought to allow bikers this privilege as well. This nice animation by Spencer Boomhower makes a compelling argument for why this is such a good idea.
