I was riding at White Rock on Monday evening (Apr 24) and was pulled over by the police for running the three way stop sign at Lakewood Blvd and Lawther/Williamson (I'm not sure of this street name). I was coming north over the two hills and the cop was tucked into a side street watching for ne'erdowells like me.
He told me that there had been lots of complaints and that they were going to start ticketing cyclists for running stop signs. While I was being chastised, two or three other cyclists blew the stop sign and the cop was pissed. Luckily he just gave me a warning and told me to tell all my friends.
So watch out when you are out there riding. Getting tickets stink. Getting tickets on your bike really stinks.
PS - Please no rants about how we shouldn't be running stop signs. I've heard it all before and I agree with you.
