Stop signs, yield signs, traffic lights, speed limits and the general vehicular and traffic code posted by government are there to slow people down (or speed them up) appropriately and safely. You, as an individual, have no right or responsibility to "slow people down". This is where problems begin---individuals making up their own rules, like two cars driving side by side at 55 on an interstate--maybe they want to "slow people down" as well--- but instead they create the very safety hazard that they THINK they are preventing. Follow the rules posted (and use your turn signals), but DO NOT impose your individual traffic concepts on everyone else. If you want to be a law enforcement officer, go to the police academy and get a badge.
