    Should Ontario cyclists be allowed to cross on walk signals?

    Yes. It’s safer, and that should be the main consideration.

    Also, allow Idaho Stops, since it’s also another step towards safety for cyclists.

    There are so many things the province can do to make sure we get close to our vision zero goals, yet we are still criminalizing cyclists wanting to be safe!

      Not only are these things safe, but they’re also key to the efficiency of cycling. Cycling would replace driving if it were more attractive and efficient, but that won’t be the case if cyclists have to act like they’re driving cars.
