Idaho law basically allows cyclists to treat Stop signs as if they were Yield signs - i.e. to proceed with caution if there's no conflicting traffic but to yield to any traffic on the cross street. Idaho also allows cyclists to treat red traffic lights as if they were Stop signs - i.e. come to a complete stop, check for crossing traffic and proceed only when it is safe to do so.

These laws have been in effect in Idaho for a few decades and do not seem to have caused any problems, so I would support their implementation elsewhere. But the poll here doesn't allow the option of such a law so I haven't participated.
