That seems to be the rule in places like that.

A friend of mine got a $200 ticket for running a stop sign on her bike

of the most liberal cities in the U.S., but also one of the most
strident in terms of enforcing petty ordinances when ordinary citizens
are involved. However the homeless have free reign.

I was driving in San Francisco over Memorial day weekend and one

down, but not stopping for stop signs, crossing streets against the

There was talk a year or so ago of changing the California Vehicle
Code to make this legal (i.e. bikes could treat "Stop" signs as
"Yield" signs), but I don't think anything actually came of it.
I believe that I recently read that that is the law in Idaho.
It is the law in Idaho, but there is some pressure to implement it
elsewhere.
I suspect it won't happen until there's significant uptake of legal
riding by cyclists. My experience (as a bike commuter) is that I'm
usually the only one I see obeying stop-signs or lights when it's even
vaguely safe to blow them.

The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or
drinking; he can ruin himself with gambling. If he does he is certainly a damn
fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a
free man any more than a dog.
