Go Sign T-Shirt
Already one of the most bike-friendly cities in the world -- with 63 miles of bicycle lanes and events like the monthly Critical Mass -- San Francisco is now going one step further. Effective immediately, all city stop signs will hereby be considered "go" signs for cyclists.
"From here on out, if you're on a bike and you come to a 'stop' sign, just continue to zip on through as though there were no one else on the road," said Gary Roloff, director of the SF Metropolitan Transportation Commission. "Basically, do what you've always done."
Cyclists in the city hailed the announcement as long overdue.
"Motorists need to learn to share the road," said bike rider Andrew Reitzman. "Especially with a guy like me, who always has his iPod on, and is known to Twitter while riding. This is a great idea."
