I stop most of the time, but most of mine are street crossings while on a rail-trail. On most of those, traffic stops/slows as I get there and waves me on. In those cases I am slowing down then headed back up to speed when traffic waves me on. Stop lights always get stopped at, but occasionally I do cross on the red when there is no traffic.
I agree that we need to show respect to the rules of the road in order to expect respect from cars/trucks on the road. We can't complain about others not following the rules if we don't either.
