''Here's the lead-in to the article on the Bicycling mag Website:

"A Stop-Sign Solution?

"Idaho's stop-as-yield statute lets you ride safely and efficiently-without breaking the law.

"For 26 years, cyclists in Idaho have rolled through stop signs-legally. According to that state's law, when a cyclist approaches an intersection controlled by a stop sign, the cyclist must slow to "a reasonable speed," but is not obligated to stop unless doing so is "required for safety." After yielding to any vehicle that has the right of way, the cyclist may proceed. There's more: Cyclists are required to stop at red lights, but once stopped may then proceed without waiting for the light to change, after first yielding to vehicles that have the right of way. In effect, this law allows cyclists to treat stop signs as yield signs, and red lights as stop signs."
