I have to contribute to this because I have this deep pent up rage against most bicyclists in Sacramento...
>The few studies that look at specific violations have found that people on bikes do roll through stop signs about 15% more than drivers do (at least in Oregon), but also that drivers roll through them almost 80% of the time
This is the source of all my aggression. First off, this is an incredibly high percentage, basically confirming almost all bicyclists don't stop at stop signs. Looks like I have reason to generalize. This statistic is deceptive in that it doesn't compare speed through a stop sign. Most drivers roll through stop signs (no source but based on personal experience), they don't blow through them at full speed. Downtown/midtown Sacramento has hundreds of stop signs and I almost hit bicyclists on a weekly basis.
There were lots of statistical goofs in this article but this one made my eyes turn red.
