It's a good point & makes sense, though there is no legal traffic when those lights are flashing and people getting on the bus use the stop location as a temporary crosswalk.Steve Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650405341304401203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-54411052135422859942009-08-28T08:26:33.752-05:002009-08-28T08:26:33.752-05:00If you walked your bike in the roadway above, you ...If you walked your bike in the roadway above, you broke the law. <br /><br />By surrendering your status as a legal vehicle for that of a pedestrian, you were required to use the sidewalk that pedestrians are required to use.<br /><br />Had there been no sidewalk, you would have been legally required to walk on the left side of the roadway, facing traffic.<br /><br />You could have legally pulled up on the sidewalk to ride through.<br /><br />You asked.PM Summerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08841490283131875648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-31362830207871382152009-08-27T18:27:00.113-05:002009-08-27T18:27:00.113-05:00Walk on by.Walk on by.Doohickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06088639153697449691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-3794566360071144522009-08-27T18:14:11.901-05:002009-08-27T18:14:11.901-05:00Yes.

It was a very long stop. A cyclist doing the ped walk-by would never be seen again by the motorists waiting.Kerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14617647529657485483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-81358010884294189422009-08-27T17:55:19.800-05:002009-08-27T17:55:19.800-05:00Bicycle envy FTW!Bicycle envy FTW!twisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02593091250403547793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-20793602579187279782009-08-27T08:11:12.645-05:002009-08-27T08:11:12.645-05:00I agree with you both: dismount and walk.
