MODERATORS
Some jurisdictions actively take the opposite approach - bikes can treat stop signs as yield signs!
And those jurisdictions are what is colloquially known as "stupid".

See the section on safety. It's safer for bicycles to yield at stop signs instead of come to a complete stop. The most dangerous part of cycling is in an intersection, and you'll spend more time in them when coming to a complete stop every time
