I'd accept a "Bicyclists May Use Pedestrian Crossing" sign, but
not this one. Even if no one has been cited, the message to everyone,
IMO, is that bicyclists don't belong off of the ped crossing... ripe for
harassment from some. <br><br>
[Though it is apparently unclear under CVC whether it is legal to ride a
bike in a crosswalk.]<br><br>

have seen the sign too, and as I recall, it is a rectangular black on
white sign. That means it is meant to be a regulatory sign. However, it
is not an approved sign in the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices,
nor does the Vehicle Code contain language specifying when such a
provision would apply. That doesn’t mean the El Cajon Police Department
wouldn’t try to enforce the sign, but I don’t think SDCBC has ever heard
of anyone being issued a citation there.<br>

</font><font size=2>Hi:<br><br>
I happened to driving in El Cajon this morning (Parts for the washing
machine) I was west bound on Bradley and I noticed that at
Cuyamca there was the following sign:<br><br>
CYCLISTS USE PEDESTRIAN CROSSING<br><br>
After having just played around making a wallet card with sections from
CVC 21200 and 21202, this sign seems improper... <br><br>
Just wondering if such signs are "legal" ? Any thoughts
comments appreciated.<br><br>
Jon<br>
