I've had a few times in a few metropolitan areas where I had no car, and commuted 15+ miles of urban riding a day.

Both times started super conservative with my riding. By the end of was blowing lights and stop signs, had a whistle necklace, carried pepper spray, and was happier than I had ever been in traffic in a car.

Stop signs and traffic lights are a car concept. Pedestrians don't need them and have NEVER needed them because they move slow and can see all around them without blind spots. Cyclists are a lot closer to pedestrians than to cars unless you're in an ebike with no governor. Ride on man!
