It is a basic rule of the road — come to a complete stop at a stop sign — but the latest research once again suggests cyclists should ignore it.

Studies and experience have shown the bicycle rolling stop (BSR) is actually safer and more efficient for everyone if bike riders treat stop signs like yield signs.
