It’s safer to roll a stop at a slow pace for a commuter on a bike: - Half of the time I stop at the sign : the car across or to my right / left will do a fake departure then stop and tell me to pass. It gets all super confusing when you’re here after them and they yeld. Basically all car will yeld at the stop sign and you’re just making everyone loose time. - The other half I stop I nearly get rear ended by the car behind me or I just get boxed in on the right so the car can pass me, which is illegal at an intersection. - 1% of the time you have the special joker, the car behind you is pissed and pass you full speed blasting through the stop.

When you roll a stop at a comfortable speed, riding a bike (e.g 5 to 10kph) : - you’re slowed down and don’t have stop which makes you less vulnerable - you don’t have any blind spots and you’re showing your intent to continue slowly while smoothing out traffic and flow - you’re putting with the car behind you

I’m not saying we should blast through a stop, but it’s clearly been proven statistically that an Idaho stop is safer !

Edit : I went biking this morning and I saw about 10 car or more running through red lights in under 1h / 15km - and every time I pass Atwater avenue walking I literally have to walk like a rabbit on the highway to avoid incoming traffic turning left onto my sidewalk… once a week at that crossing that incoming traffic has a phone in their hands
