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.
Thanks for the civics lesson. Many towns have special exemptions for bikes at certain sorts of intersections, but to say that stops should never apply to bikes is laughably ignorant.
You wanna share the road? Then share the rules. Otherwise there's plenty of room for you on MUP.
