Help me understand the conclusion that motorists prefer cyclists running stop signs as a unit. It seems unlikely that anyone has any real supporting data for such a conclusion.
And is this different from the entire group stopping and then proceeding?
My understanding is that the group stopping, and then going, as a unit, is preferred to each cyclist stopping independently, and only one going at a time.
