		<description><![CDATA[by Ray Thomas
In Idaho, bicyclists have been allowed by statute since 1982 to approach stop signs and roll through, after first yielding the right of way.  Bicyclists in Idaho are also allowed to turn right at red lights without stopping, so long as the bicyclist first yields to other vehicles.  In 2005 the Idaho legislature [...]]]></description>

Would Oregon benefit from a law, similar to the one in Idaho, allowing bicyclists to slow down, yield to traffic and then travel through stop signs without coming to a complete stop or to stop, yield and then travel (when safe) through red lights?   Many if not most cyclists tend to behave this [...]]]></description>

Roberto Maranghi was riding his bike home from work on September 26, 2008, when a car nailed him.
Maranghi was approaching a busy road from a side street, preparing to turn right.  Coming exactly the opposite direction, a car turned left onto the side street, cutting the corner. Into Maranghi’s lane.  Front bumper met [...]]]></description>

Safe access to the streets is a critical component in our movement away from reliance on inefficient and polluting automobiles and toward more use of walking, cycling and mass transit.

Author’s note: This article was written before a well-publicized confrontation in Portland, where a motorist criticized a cyclist for running a stop light, and the cyclist responded by smashing the car with his bike. Needless to say, YHIHF would never endorse cyclists’ violence against anyone.  While we stand by our comments at the [...]]]></description>

Sometimes it’s difficult to get a fair result when a collision with a car results in property damage but no personal injury.
