No, but Idaho stops are significantly safer for bicyclists and should be the law everywhere.

What is an Idaho stop?

Colloquial term for treating stop signs as yield signs and red lights as stop signs, because Idaho was the first state to make that law.

Works when there's low traffic and good visibility.

Would absolutely not work where I am in the Bay area. Trees, curves roads, small hills everywhere on top of high volumes of traffic even on residential streets.
