This is the title, 'Should bicyclists always halt at stop signs and wait at lights? Study says no'. The only thing the article does, is encourage a trend of disobeying both traffic lights and stop signs. Not just by cyclists. But also by motorists'.

It is common knowledge that there are motorists' who thing bikes don't belong on the road. So, It isn't a far stretch to entertain that if a cyclist blows through a red light/stop sign. That a motorist won't hesitate to the same thing.
