As someone who biked everywhere for years, this is safer. Do have any idea long it takes for a bicyclist to regain speed and get out of an intersection after stopping? The answer is too damn long. You'd get pancaked by oncoming traffic within a week if you stopped at every intersection like a car.

This is better for drivers too - I don't want to sit there and wait for a biker to fully stop and start again when they beat me to a 4way stop by a half-a-second. And while I would do it, some drivers wouldn't, which is unpredictable and unsafe.
