I've always heard this called a "California stop." Are you in California? Looking for a point of data.

Eh? I'm not in CA, and like the other answers I see this everywhere in the country. I suppose it's rarer in places where intersections are almost never quiet and empty, but I've seen it all over New York (not NYC), Ohio, Wisconsin, and a half-dozen other states. It's standard practice anywhere rural, and in a lot of suburbs.

There are many variations. It depends on your region, more or less.

In California, it's frequently called a "California Roll", which makes it a pun for the sushi.

Maybe it should be called a "anywhere in the United States stop."
