Next time you are on the street - not multi-modal trail - slow up at a STOP sign when you see a police officer there and go right through. Explain that you slowed sufficiently and that is good as a full stop.
A State Trooper was amazed when a driver "slowed down significantly" at a STOP sign. Since he had time he pulled over the driver. "Did you see the sign?" "yeh" the driver replied. "What did you do?"

The driver replied " I yust ooooozed into the intersection."
Trooper said " lets look at the sign. What does it say?"

"Stop!" he says proudly.

"Next time you see one that says ooze then you can ooze through the intersection!"
