Should Cyclists be ticketed for ignoring signals in Old Towne Alexandria??

I myself love to ride my bike on the Mt. Vernon trail and stroll on into the Old Towne Alexandria area on a regular basis. The city is biker friendly and I believe it to be so. The city has done a great job with bike signage and placards except I think that it could be carried a bit further and with more detail. The bike lanes need repainting and their should be more of them in order to regulate the biking traffic and to keep them self and that of pedestrians and visitors. Our biking experiences are valued and enjoyed by many and it seems to be getting busier and busier. I agree that "we" bikers need to adhere to the rules of the road and to obey them accordingly. It would just be more helpful to take it a step further and give us our proper lanes and our own signals which would keep everyone happier and safer.
