Well actually, its usually much safer for a cyclists to keep moving at an intersection like that. It takes far less time for them to clear the intersection than coming to a full dead stop and starting again. I can see and hear everything on approach much better than anyone inside a 2 ton metal box. In some places its perfectly legal for a bicycle to treat stop sighs like a give way.

Getting on the sidewalk often has its own hazards, like the sidewalk randomly ending and starting again for no reason, people, and shop doors.

It is not safer to blow through a 4 way stop with a blind corner at 20 mph. I nearly hit a cyclist because of them doing that.

You know what has hazards? Riding in the road unprotected from 2 ton heavy machinery. You couldn't pay me to ride in the street when there are sidewalks available.

It's pure selfishness to demand others be responsible for your safety.
