he didn't intend to stop of slow down. One thing we do know is having a police cruiser pull directly in his/her path is the last thing the rider wanted or expected to see on a two-lane road...you call it a footpath. Sure looks like a two-lane road for traffic in both directions to me.

No one should want to see someone get badly hurt or even killed because they may have been unaware of a posted sign.

Rough crowd here.
