As soon as you make the rolling stop legal people will push the limits of that law and drive straight through if they think the way is clear.
The numbers of drivers driving through reds (at least here in coastal San Diego) has noticeably increased over the past two years, previously people would hit the gas if the lights turned yellow, now they are hitting the gas if they see yellow (and crossing through the intersection on red). Accident statistics seem to back that up https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/29/us/red-light-deaths-trnd/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/29/us/red-light-deaths-trnd/inde...
Making traffic rules less strict seems like a recipe for more accidents and deaths.
