You stop at a stop sign. On the cross street, which has no stop sign, a bicyclist rides toward the intersection and is already close to it. What should you do?
Blue A has already stopped behind the northbound stop line, as stated in the question. The exact STOP sign controls A and is repeated in a labelled detail. B rides a bicycle east toward the intersection on the cross street, which has no stop sign or bicycle lane. No route or yielding instruction appears.
Correct answer: Wait for the bicyclist to pass, because a bicycle is a vehicle, the same as a car.
Why
A person who rides a bicycle has the same rights and duties as a driver, except for rules that cannot apply to a bicycle. So bicyclists must obey signs and signals and ride with traffic, and drivers must give them the right-of-way that any vehicle would get. Bicyclists are easy to overlook and their speed is hard to judge, so look for them at every intersection.
