Speaking of stop signs, can someone point me to an official explanation of the desired behavior when I, on my bike, encounter a stop sign on the Southwest (or any other) path? That stop sign is in front of the sidewalk (not on the terrace / devil strip). Is the sign asking me to stop for sidewalk traffic or street traffic? Or maybe more to the point, should auto traffic on the street yield to me on my bike, as I wait to cross the street, or am I stopped by the stop sign on the path, waiting for a safe time to cross the street, and auto traffic can proceed without yielding in the same way it would if I was stopped by a stop sign on a cross-street?
