I am a cyclist in Mass. (Bridgewater area) and I've seen that sign at many
intersections, as well as a small dotted 'lane' painted on the roadway. I
could not figure it out either, but I like that suggestion that it is where
you should be to trip the traffic signal. I've spent several minutes at
some intersections waiting for the light to change to green and it just
doesn't happen unless a CAR needs to proceed.

We need a definitive answer. Maybe at www.massbike.org

I was riding along on route 6 in Seekonk, MA the other day (on the
shoulder
as usual) and came to a red light at a 4-way intersection. Pulled up
behind someone and noticed a sign on the side of the road reading
"Bicycles stop on green". What is that supposed to mean? How are you
supposed to stop on green (and why the hell would you want to)? Am I
missing something? Needless to say I did NOT stop on green, as that
is rediculous and stupid along with being dangerous (are you supposed
to proceed on RED??). Also, since I noticed that one sign i've seen
several along US 6, but only in MA. Anyone have any info on them (and
their meaning) before I email MassHighway?

Thanks.
