For the sake of accessibility, for those on foot or who travel using mobility devices who have other limitations including visual, hearing and cognitive disabilities (or a combination of two or three), it is crucial that all moving vehicles, including bicycles, behave in a predictable way, following all traffic laws, signs and signals. You may know what you are doing if you roll through a stop sign, but a pedestrian does not, and it can throw a person off in a way that increases risk for them, or indeed prevents them from traveling independently in their own neighbourhood due to fear and discomfort, especially if they have any or some of these limitations.
