I think the cop is correct... however, I often begin to ride during the walk
signal, before the cars start to go, because it gives me a chance to
establish my place in traffic (so cars can see me better). Might be
illeagal, but I think is is safer.
Side question: Are mopeds / vespas allowed in the bike lane? I was almost
hit by one the other day, when he entered the bike lane and I was not
anticipating it.

Subject: [*BCM*] riding on a walk signal
Hi all,
I'm not sure where to find out this information but
what is he technical law concerning riding your bike
across an intersection with a walk signal? I ask
because I was pulled over by a cop and he nearly gave
me a ticket for "driving through a red light" saying
that my bike is technically a vehicle.
I was in the street, not the side walk, and I came to
a stop before I did it (so I didnt just speed through
the intersection carelessly).
I dont want to start a rant, just wondering the law
and where I can find out info like this.
Thanks!
Mike
