jennaleighrichards asked: If a sidewalk bicycle path continues across the street at a crosswalk are bikes permitted to ride while the sign says walk? Or do they have to get off of the bike. Very confusing.

Technically, at least in Urbana/Champaign, bicycles are supposed to follow the rules of the road (as a car) so they would cross with traffic when they get the green light. However, around here (except on a few streets) it’s also legal for bicycles to ride on sidewalks and would then be permitted to cross with pedestrians, while riding but giving pedestrians the right of way. I always follow the traffic signals for cars except at the intersection of Green and Wright on campus where I find it dangerous to go with cars (too many buses turning across the bike path) so I go very carefully with pedestrians. Unfortunately, the rules are confusing and vague and may be different where you live…
