Dismounting at crossings is stupid. I can understand putting a stop sign for bikes(or yield to vehicles), you make sure it is clear, then go. But dismounting and walking just inconveniences everyone. If I let the vehicle go, we can both proceed quickly. If I dismount, they need to wait for me to hobble across the street, much slower than I would on a bike. It's a shame we have these rules where common nemeses dictates better results.
