It is extremely common, the default really, for cars to roll through 4-way stops.
- cma 3y agoA rolling stop is not blowing through which he was talking about I think.
- esoterica 3y agoWhen cars do a “rolling stop” what they are really doing is slowing down to 10-15mph, which is the same speed as a cyclist “blowing” through a stop sign at full speed.
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoI live in Seattle, so you’ll see bikes mostly blow through stop signs going down a decline, they can faster than 10-15 even without e-assist. Cars, when they do ignore the stop sign, can be going up or down, however. If I see a bike going downhill approaching a stop sign, I assume they are going to try and ignore it if it won’t obviously get them killed. Uphill, bikes care more about stopping since they aren’t losing momentum.
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoMaybe where you live? It isn’t as common here in Seattle, although as I said it is definitely becoming less rare.
