‘Bikes Required to Stop’ sign to be removed by City of Portland

Buffered Bike Lane with a bike symbol and arrow pointing forward


Have you seen the new traffic sign on SE 19th at Umatilla in the Sellwood neighborhood? Right under a standard stop sign, it has the bike symbol and the words, “Required to Stop”…

Reader Chad B. sent in a photo of this new sign on SE 19th. Read more about it below

It looks like a legit sign, even with reflective backing and correct font/symbols. I was very surprised to see it so I immediately contacted PBOT to find out more. According to PBOT’s Mark Lear it’s a “bootleg sign” and City crews will remove it ASAP.

Anyone know who’s behind it?
