Unique State Laws

Under Idaho law, how may a bicyclist legally treat a stop sign?

Tap to reveal answer

A They must come to a complete stop, same as a motor vehicle.
B They may treat it as a yield sign — slowing, yielding to traffic, and proceeding without stopping if safe.
C They may ignore it entirely.
D They must dismount and walk their bike.
Why this answer

Idaho was the first US state (1982) to adopt the "Stop as Yield" rule for bicyclists, often called the "Idaho Stop." A bicyclist approaching a stop sign may treat it as a yield sign, slowing, yielding to other traffic, and proceeding without a full stop if safe. At a red light, cyclists must stop but may then proceed after yielding.
