The realization I've come to is that bikes simply cannot safely coexist on roads built primarily for the convenience of cars.
America lost that battle to Ford and Moses long ago.
This law may or may not make a small difference but until we're willing to reduce car lanes and put concrete barriers for bikers and pedestrians on every road, I'll never feel fully safe biking alongside cars.
I did a ride around the Napa valley, roughly 60 miles., and the cars going by at 65 is sketchy AF. Probably dont do it again although its beautiful.
Theres been plenty of studies that show rolling stops for cyclist is indeed safer than stopping.
