Stop sign

Two great videos about why we don’t need a stop sign and why stop signs may be a sign of bad design:

• Stop Signs Suck and We Should Get Rid of Them
• Drivers and Cyclists May Agree: Stop Signs Need to Go

For bicycles

Cyclists are often criticized for “running the stop signs/lights”. But some argue it’s even more common among car drivers (urbanism video).

Stop signs have huge impact on how much effort cyclists should exert. See Why bicyclists hate stop signs by Joel Fajans and Melanie Curry

Also, if cyclists respect the stop sign fully by a complete stop, it will cost a lot of time for everyone. This meme captures this nicely.

A popular solution is Idaho stop.
