It does not really matter to most people. The local motorists are so used to bikes flying through stop signs that they stop and let them go. It's the only safe way to handle it.
Wow, nice paths... we have very little like that here. We have paths, but they are not as you describe. And even if they are "bike paths," people walk on them as if they are MUPs.
