Cross-Seminole Trail -- Bicyclists neither stop, nor walk their bikes across this residential street with light motorist traffic. |
After a year of riding the Cross-Seminole Trail, I have never seen any of dozens of bicyclists obey this stop sign at Shale Court, except for a handful of instances when a motorist stopped before turning onto S.R. 426. Shale Court has light traffic and I have never seen anyone walk a bike across it. The purpose of doing so, as the sign mandates, eludes me. These signs are unnecessary and should be replaced by a simple yield sign, if anything.

Outstanding effort by Keri Caffrey in bringing this issue to MetroPlan''s attention. More information at Commute Orlando at this LINK.
