  5. City says Dearborn bike signals keeping cyclists in line

    Chicago's first two-way protected bike lanes have been in place for six months through the center of downtown on <strong>Dearborn Street</strong>, and the experience so far has led city officials to conclude that all cyclists really need to obey traffic laws are signals of their own, telling them that stop means stop.
