Idaho Stop Before California Governor

Data from Delaware shows that collisions involving bikes at intersections went down by 23% after the state adopted the bicycle safety stop.

 Please tell the California Governor to approve AB-122 the Idaho stop (Bicycle Safety Stop) Bill. 

 

10/11/21 UPDATE:  10/8 Governor Vetos AB-122 citing accidents at stop signs. 

US States with "rolling stops": Arkansas, Oklahoma, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Delaware.

The three-foot passing law was defeated twice by Governor Brown, expect the Idaho Stop similar.

There are fewer lawyers in Germany (104,000) than Kalifornia (266,000), and more street users who can think for themselves. 

Sorry to all who participated, we've been Gavined by the Gov.
