It's not as comprehensive as you're probably looking for, but I saw a video a while back with some observations on this in Ottawa: https://youtu.be/HT_KdFCVEdc

It is true from my experience that yield signs are used extensively in some parts of Europe. Are stop signs really that common in NA?

More common than yield signs, by far. Which is probably why most people treat them as yield signs.

If you were to bike around my city, you will notice that between zero and one percent of vehicles will come to a full stop at any stop signs or while doing right turns on red lights. For pedestrian safety, I think rolling right on red lights is worse because the cars will often only be looking left, and never check to their right for someone in the crosswalk or a cyclist approaching on their right.
Are there some numbers on this? Even if your own?
I mean, _some_ people don't stop, sure that's valid on its face.
But they "just don't work anywhere", is that what, half of drivers refusing to stop at a four way stop? One in four?
I get that it's a fraught topic, but still...
