A friend and I were talking about biking to work and I was telling him (as much as I knew/understood) about the "Idaho stop" law, he was intrigued. He suggested that perhaps we could approach our city about trying to enact something similar by modifying stop signs in residential neighbourhoods whereby, where agreed upon, stop sign posts would have an additional sign below it in the colour and shape of a Yield sign but instead of the words "Yield", it would have a bicycle on it indicating that at this intersection, cyclists may yield instead of stop where it is safe to do so.
