When it done where I am at we call it a California stop. Explains where that name comes from that they actually have a saying for that type of "stopping ".
KY/OH here. It’s not a Cali thing, it’s an American thing. Almost daily I have people rolling through stop signs or just straight up not stopping at stop lights if they’re turning right.
Story time: drove in Europe for the first time this year. Totally different. Lower speed limits even with that weird metric system. Way less lights and more round abouts and stop signs.
While not legal in many places to do a rolling stop, for the most part I find them safer if done correct. It allows you to get up to speed quite a bit faster while using a bit less energy. Something good for the environment and can keep traffic flowing better.
Also a full stop is harder on your vehicle. It puts more force on your bushings and brakes. You notice it on a hard stop where you feel that brief reverse movement. It rather minor if your not overly aggressive.
It rather small stuff but the flip side is some people will do aggressive rolling stops negating much of the safety factor. Thus the rules are enforced black and white.
Train can’t stop like a vehicle does.
I live in California; many drivers here make it seem like regular cars can’t stop either the way they roll through stops.
Idk if this is more of a local thing but in Ohio we call rolling stops a California stop
I’ve always heard it called the “California Roll” from other Californians. I like the pun. A California roll is also a local kind of sushi.
California rolls (sushi) are common in mostly the entire US.
Sweden also has them
They are local like Hawaiian pizza is local to Toronto. They might have been created there but itnhas caught on elsewhere.
Cars in New Mexico appear to have brake failures at every stop sign, they slow down but do not stop.

That’s because it’s actually allowed in the majority of the US
Well right turns on red are allowed in most of NA.

Just to be pedantic, trains are vehicles.
To be fair, when your doing 40 and you are 50 feet from the crosswalk, you can’t stop either.
To be fair, hitting meat bags on the road or a tree could make you stop in less than 40 feet.
