If they bring that to Seattle, we’re going to need to print a lot of blue tickets. A lot.
Cyclists here operate in a gray area a mile wide. They are nominally supposed stop at stop signs and red lights, respect pedestrian right of way, signal turns, and all that stuff. But virtually none do, and I’ve never seen any consequences.
Well, I did witness one karmic consequence where one cyclist t-boned another cyclist as they both sailed through stop signs in SLU, sending the victim flying through the air. Luckily nobody was hurt.
Perhaps this gray area is intentional -lax enforcement due to prioritization or even a tacit understanding that cycling needs encouragement, and tickets are a bummer.
