Agreed. I’m referring to coming to a full stop, looking left and right and then proceeding, not lallygagging about.
Fully stopping can be wasteful too. Also in some instances you can't properly see around the corner without inching into the roadway, thus making the initial stop rather pointless. Better to roll slowly and look, and stop if need be. Not all the time, but there are many locales where at the white line you can't see anything barrelling through. Other times it seems the stop can lull some into a false sense of security, that if you stop everyone stops. 'I waited 3sec, therefore I must be fine to proceed'.
o/t but I think Toronto should invest in better roadpaint. Make the lane markings sharper, brighter, and which stay that way for more than a year.
