Repeat.
Why is it that people are stupid enough to believe crap like this?
Stop signs and lights are designed for cars. They are designed for 2 ton vehicles driving 30+miles an hour. Even if a car and cyclist are traveling the same rate of speed, the cyclist should stop much faster than a car will.
The notion that all traffic laws should apply to bicycles is ludicrous.
