研究表明，针对骑自行车者的“滚动停车”法是安全的

“滚动停车”法可以安全地改善十字路口的交通。法律允许骑自行车的人将停车标志视为让路。骑自行车的人可以更顺利地通过十字路口，缓解交通拥堵。

A new study suggests that “rolling stop” laws for bicyclists can safely improve traffic through intersections.

一项新的研究表明，针对骑自行车者的“滚动停车”法可以安全地改善十字路口的交通。

The study, published in the journal Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour, found that bicyclists were able to get through intersections more smoothly when they were allowed to treat a stop sign as a yield. This resulted in less traffic congestion and shorter delays for both cyclists and motorists.

这项发表在《交通研究 F 部分：交通心理学与行为》杂志上的研究发现，当骑自行车的人被允许将停车标志视为让路时，他们能够更顺利地通过十字路口。这减少了交通拥堵，并缩短了骑行者和驾车者的延误时间。

“Rolling stop” laws are already in place in some states, such as California and Idaho. However, there has been some debate over the safety of these laws. Some critics argue that allowing cyclists to roll through stop signs could increase the risk of collisions with motorists.

加利福尼亚州和爱达荷州等一些州已经制定了“滚动停止”法律。然而，对于这些法律的安全性存在一些争论。一些批评者认为，允许骑自行车的人通过停车标志可能会增加与驾车者发生碰撞的风险。

The new study provides evidence to suggest that these concerns may be unfounded. The researchers found that the rate of collisions between cyclists and motorists was actually lower in intersections with “rolling stop” laws than in intersections without them.

这项新研究提供的证据表明这些担忧可能没有根据。研究人员发现，在有“滚动停车”法律的十字路口，骑自行车者和驾车者之间的碰撞率实际上低于没有“滚动停车”法律的十字路口。

The researchers believe that this may be due to the fact that cyclists are more likely to be visible to motorists when they are rolling through an intersection. This gives motorists more time to react and avoid a collision.

研究人员认为，这可能是因为骑自行车的人在穿过十字路口时更有可能被驾车者看到。这使驾车者有更多时间做出反应并避免碰撞。

The study also found that “rolling stop” laws had a positive impact on the overall flow of traffic. Intersections with these laws experienced less congestion and shorter delays than intersections without them.

研究还发现，“滚动停车”法对整体交通流量产生了积极影响。与没有这些法律的十字路口相比，遵守这些法律的十字路口拥堵更少，延误也更短。

The researchers conclude that “rolling stop” laws can be a safe and effective way to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion. They recommend that more states consider adopting these laws.

研究人员得出的结论是，“滚动停车”法可以是改善交通流量和减少拥堵的安全有效的方法。他们建议更多的州考虑采用这些法律。
