The most important line in this article, in my opinion is: "Indeed, traffic flow is improved where cyclists do not come to a complete stop, for drivers need not wait long for the bikes to clear the intersection." Could you imagine the uproar by drivers who would have to wait for 35 - 50 cyclists to each stop at all the stop signs in Payson Park on a Monday or Thursday night ride?

In response to police ticketing cyclists who roll through stops in the other Portland, a group started "totally legal rides" in which they ride single file and each come to a complete stop at each stop sign just to demonstrate exactly what you write about.
Thanks for the link!
I would have loved to have seen that!
