> In 1982, Idaho was the first State to pass such a law, commonly known as the “Idaho Stop Law.” The law
allows bicyclists to yield at stop signs and proceed when safe, rather than come to a complete stop. After Idaho
adopted the law, bicyclist injuries from traffic crashes declined by 14.5% the following year (Meggs, 2010). In
2017, Delaware adopted a similar, limited stop-as-yield law, known
as the "Delaware Yield.” Traffic crashes involving bicyclists at stop
sign intersections fell by 23% in the 30 months after the law’s
passage, compared to the previous 30 months. https://www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/2023-03/Bicyclis... |
