1. Obey, obey, obey
Cyclists, just like motorists, must obey all traffic control devices
It takes longer to travel through an intersection on bike;
plan to stop for yellow lights
Avoid cars that run red lights: wait for the green and scan to
make sure it's clear
2. Detection
Bicycles must activate a vehicle detector just like a motor vehicle
Detectors are embedded in the roadway; look for squares cut into the roadway
Detectors use magnetic forces tosense vehicles, not weight
3. Unresponsive signals
In most states, after three minutes, you can treat a red light as a stop sign
Pass through a red light only as a last resort and do so with extreme caution
Yield to other vehicles while crossing the roadway
