I always stop at red lights, and slow to a crawl, or even stop momentarily at stop signs. I get a kick out of watching other riders' approach to the T intersections on one road we all ride. Some completely blow through as if the sign wasn't there. Some come to a complete stop and put a foot down. Most slow to varying degrees, though my slowing to below a walk is more than most. And some, even though they aren't stopping at all, unclip a foot and touch off the ground as they roll through. I guess they figure a cop will say, "Well, you didn't stop, but you DID put your foot down!"
