Frankly, if there’s other traffic, you’re a dumbass if you rely on drivers to see and respect your right-of-way as a cyclist. Being in the right and dead is still dead.
I slow roll stop signs. I don’t do that at lights, but I will stop and then run the light if there’s no one around. I’m not riding on the sidewalk, so I can’t reach the button, and frequently the bike doesn’t trigger the signal.
Isn’t that what “treating it as a yield sign” means? Only difference being no forced stop for cyclists. If there is traffic with a higher priority, you do stop at a yield sign.
I’m all for an Idaho stop at a stop sign if and only if there is no other traffic. Otherwise they should respect priority.
