And those jurisdictions are what is colloquially known as “stupid”.

Have you decided to change your opinion yet, since you’ve had plenty of time to read about and fix your own “stupid” though?

It’s hard not to see this as ignorance given how easy it is to look up the great safety record of these laws (i.e. right there on the Wikipedia page).

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
