Re: [Bikies] crosswalk diagram and explanation of rules
Don't recall and cannot locate that post, but here's a consolation prize: "elephant feet." http://www.mapleridgenews.com/community/292716091.html In BC, riding a bicycle on a sidewalk is not legal (unless explicit signage or local regulation allows it), nor is cycling in a crosswalk, even when it's part of a cycling-allowed path... unless there are elephant feet. Recently, ICBC - the provincial insurance agency - tweeted a PSA with an image of a cyclist riding across just such a crosswalk with a message "reminding" cyclists not to cycle in crosswalks. That highlighted the fact that few people are aware of the meaning of the markings, evidently including some traffic professionals. That attracted the expected outrage from cycling advocates, and is when I learned what elephant feet meant.

Re: [Bikies] crosswalk diagram and explanation of rules
The crosswalk is defined as starting in the roadway, so it begins at the curb/gutter line. Once your foot or wheel breaks that plane, you're "in" the crosswalk and vehicle operators travelling in the roadway are expected to yield the right of way.

[Bikies] crosswalk diagram and explanation of rules
Hello, I may be misremembering, but I believe somebody shared a link to a very clear and helpful diagram of crosswalk use, including showing when a pedestrian/cyclist is considered "in the crosswalk". I tried to seach old e-mails and on Google, but I'm not coming up with it, so I was hoping somebody might be able to link it here?
