I don’t see the point because it my experience this is how bicyclists behave and always have. I’ve rarely ever seen one stop at a stop sign, they always coast through. As a rider myself I’ve done this but I can control my speed leading up so as to time it with the other traffic and cause minimal disruption. I’m also usually very clearly waving someone by and indicate given right of way as most drivers freeze at an intersection with a bike. It’s like the pedestrian rules apply and they have right of way by default with not other rules but that just cogs everything up. Anyways, I’m for a unified approach. Educating and changing people’s behaviors is going to be the most difficult part of this. Signing in a new law is the starting line and they seem to thing they reached the finish line.
