C'mon, Paul, her point was that blowing through STOP signs is illegal. The bit about "CLEAR" was only to say that it is also rude. Might I add that, besides being illegal and rude, blowing through stop signs is dangerous whether or not someone tells you it's clear? Even though my habit is to stop at stop signs, I have had fellow riders who are unaware of this habit yell out "CLEAR" when they approach a stop sign before me, only to approach (and stop) at the sign myself to see that, oh, look, there's a truck 10 yards away and coming toward me. Somehow this does not calculate as "CLEAR" in my book.
So, no, what's "appreciated" by people sleeping in is not more important than safety. And what's appreciated by cyclists who want to blow through stop signs is also not more important than safety. ktk on 7/13/04 8:10 AM, Paul T.
