I guess we don't have as many stop signs (or nearly as many traffic cops) as you do. I usually unclip but keep my foot in position to clip right back in, and come to a "virtual" -- almost total -- stop if there's no traffic to yield to. If there is traffic, I complete the stop and put the unclipped foot down. As sstorkell says, there's nothing tricky, difficult or time-consuming about clipping in and out.
