  • If you don’t stop you would be putting yourself in danger in the intersection, stopping allows you to see the dangers and account for them.

    If you’re a stopped, the only danger is from behind you at the stop sign. You’re avoiding the danger ahead in the intersection and can now time it appropriately to get through.

    How is not stopping at intersections safer? A car can’t also make a maneuver while stopped…. The same logic you’re using is the same for cars, so bikes shouldn’t be singled out and allowed for that reason.

    I would love a source for this “being safer”. You keep saying this, and are the only one, provide data to back it up, because it’s bullshit.

    Driving and sharing the road is about being predictable, ignoring traffic signs is the most unpredictably thing you can do. Your suggesting is an extremely dangerous way to share the road.


  • Source? Moving is dangerous, not moving at a stop sign the only danger is from behind, so logically what you’re saying doesn’t even make sense. And i doubt there’s any study to support that.

    They changed the law probably mainly so they wouldn’t have to waste time ticketing, it’s very rarely ever about safety.

    Also, my old civic can’t accelerate fast, most bikes accelerate faster, so… that can’t be the reasoning. Lots of cars accelerate slowly and e-bikes accelerate faster than fast cars.
