Laws implemented in other states allowing bikers to yield at stop signs (which is essentialy what drivers in Missouri do in practice anyway) actually decrease crashes and it let's bikers avoid needless stop and gos. Bikers aren't going to get in front of a 2 ton box of metal going 34 mph.

No, and furthermore, anyone, in this city at least who rides a bicycle anywhere other than on the trails, or their lawn, needs to be on suicide watch.

This is contradictory to the cities "zero pedestrian deaths" goals and should not be entertained. If approved, it may also further feed the arrogance of the modern street cyclist, something unacceptable in a peaceful civilization. ;)

Cyclists need to stop just like every one else. Police need to enforce the law and ticket cyclists who run stop signs.

Bicycles should be able to change "stop" into "yield when motorcycles are allowed to lane filter at traffic lights. Bicycles already can lane filter.

Most people already drive 75 MPH, at least. Trust the people.

A lot of people drive faster than the posted speed limit - 75 to 80 instead of 70. Increasing the speed limit will just push the actual travel rates higher - 80 to 85 instead of 75. With all of the heavy trucks on the road (some that drive slow), higher speeds are just dangerous.

Drivers are already driving 5 to 10 miles over the current limits so if it's increased I'm pretty sure they'll exceed the new limits.
