Who gets to let the Park Police at Hain’s Point know this law is in effect? I doubt they will be glad to learn of the change!

More importantly, will the NPS remove the “cyclists must stop” sign attached to the stop sign across from the tennis courts?

I’m honestly not sure if the DC law applies to NPS property.

The tickets they issue cite DC statues, and you fight them in DC court.

Great news. Let us use our new right responsibly.

I stopped to let a pedestrian proceed in a crosswalk on Virginia Avenue the other day, and he seemed flabbergasted, saying something about sometimes cyclists do stop. I’d like safe and polite behavior around pedestrians to become the norm rather than the surprising exception.
