Subject: RE: BS: Bicycles on the sidewalk
Treat cyclists as more like pedestrians and less like motor vehicles.

The stop sign rule is to prevent motor vehicles colliding.
As you say, a cyclist would have to be suicidal to jump one into the path of an oncoming vehicle, so they don't.
That is not how cyclists tend to die.
Why does it matter to you so much that they keep to a rule not really aimed at them?
