Exactly. Many stop signs could safely be replaced with yield signs, especially where the sight lines are good. Half the time you have to stop where the sight lines aren't great, move forward again to where they're good, stop to look again then safely proceed.

You end up getting more caught in in the formalities of ensuring you've stopped, which IMO is more of a distraction from the task at hand.
