I did not shoot this video. It was done by someone with the Iowa Bicycle Coalition and I think it was done in Iowa City, Iowa. I live in Sioux City, Iowa a long ways away. I do not know of something out of view was possibly blocking the view of the intersection and that is why drivers kept inching out.
pacificaslim, I hope you never visit my area. Unless it is the middle of the night on a residential street you always have to stop at stop signs here. There is always traffic to stop for. the California stops will get you in trouble. If I am the vehicle you are in an accident with, whether I am riding bike or driving my car, because you misjudged the distance and speed I am travelling when I have the right of way be prepared for a lot more trouble then just a citation.
