I agree with you 100%. However, cars and carts actually do, in many cases, at least slow down to maybe a crawl before they crash the stop sign.
My observation is that many bicycle groups "speed" through the stop controlled intersections as they play "follow the leader."
My rub is that when somebody pontificates about how safety conscious they are and that they follow the rules and that they have safety meetings, then they go out and blast through a stop sign like it wasn't there. On Arlington Loop in Chatham, the speed limit is 15 miles per hour. Every week, large groups of bicyclists round the loop well over that speed. They lean into blind curves as if they somehow magically know that nobody is coming the other direction. My wife, our neighbors and I have all had to "JUMP" out of their way to save our respective necks.
So, how "bout them Mets?
