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.
“…I don’t see this argument as relating to cyclists in anyway that logically changes road safety.”
“I think the other problem that we would have if we we’re to implement this in BC… is we would end up in a situation where any time the law changes, people don’t get the memo that the law is changing…”
