Why bother rolling the stop, it should be ok to blow through it at full speed if you're sure it's clear.
- axus 1y agoIt's about the incremental injury / death; full speed is going to cause more. Going through at 3mph shouldn't cause more, but if rolling statistically does then full stop should be enforced.
- tqi 1y agoBut what is the point of rolling through at 3mph? To save 2 seconds? The reality is people roll stops because they are a bit lazy, and stopping fully requires marginally more effort. And while that laziness is harmless at empty intersections, it invariably turns into complacency and habit that bleeds into situations that aren't as safe. The same dynamic happens with signaling lane changes.
