    I’ve never once seen a cyclist stop at a stop sign. Even into oncoming traffic they just ignore them and hope for the best.

      Are cyclists supposed to stop at stop signs there? Here they aren’t. They are supposed to treat them as yield signs

        It varies by state.

        Edit: if I recall correctly, bicyclists in PA are supposed to obey all the same traffic laws as car drivers except they aren’t required to maintain the same minimum speed, and they are allowed to ride on the shoulder.

        However, it’s been some time since I looked into it.

        In my state they are expected to follow the rules of the road and stop at stop signs and traffic lights.

      I stop at stop at stop signs, and see others do, too. So it happens. Probably as often as drivers stop at stop signs.
