I agree that predictability is better. I find it annoying when motorists cede their right of way to me whether I’m on foot or bike. I guess I find it more annoying when they take my right of way… it’s safer when everyone can be counted on to obey the rules, even when that might seem discourteous.
Canard, I won’t call you a hypocrite. Opinions change based on facts and experiences. It’s hard to understand the pure logic of the Idaho stop until one has actually been on a bike a few times. The problem is that so many people around here are nearly never on foot or bike, so they have no perspective but from behind the windshield. Their behaviour and opinions obviously reflect that.
