There's a difference between stop and slow down. There are some people who barely slow down and that's totally illegal and blatantly bad. It's also a minority of the time. Most people do significantly slow if not stop at intersections, regardless if there's another car with the right of way or not.
This is a big mischaracterization. That said, I do see cyclists blowing through stop signs ALL THE TIME, often totally dangerously with other cars (including me) at the intersection with them.

When you stop, you can confirm that the intersection is clear (and that there are no pedestrians about to cross). > It's also a minority of the time. If you had to guess, what would you say is the median speed of cars across the lines at stop signs in SF? > That said, I do see cyclists blowing through stop signs ALL THE TIME, often totally dangerously with other cars (including me) at the intersection with them. I guess we drive in different parts of the city. I see this, but not often.
- azinman2 3y agoI’d say the median speed is 0, since probably a majority of the time there are other cars. I see bikes blowing through all over the city, not just where I live. Just yesterday I was in the Richmond and a bike not only didn’t stop but it was AFTER I was fully stopped at the stop sign and about to start driving.
