Cyclists mostly put themselves in danger. Drivers mostly put others in danger. That's why traffic laws should be, and are, more enforced for drivers vs cyclists or pedestrians. There is plenty of historical precedent for cyclist laws and behavior -- including encouraging 'running' red lights and not stopping at 4-way stops -- if you look into it.
- scohesc 4y agoI wonder if it's an enforcement problem. I don't like this "enforce vehicles more than cyclists" when both types of traffic are using the road. Police know they can't get large fines out of people who ride bicycles - unfortunately it seems a lot of cyclists might not be able to afford a riders license, or registration for their bike - maybe that's why enforcement is so low? I don't know all the factors and everywhere in the world is different with their laws and enforcement avenues.
