I think it does.

I never unclip except for my origin and destination and manage to not have any problems despite overlap. I'm not even particularly ambidextrous (I have a wide range of right-foot-forward ) but manage to make that work for all my stopping needs. A little tacking left and right can let you rotate you cranks to just about any position that you need to get a good setup.

If you're going to stand with either foot forward, you should learn to cant the wheel both directions as well. imho.
