You may know Oklahoma as that place "where the wind goes sweeping down the plains", so no, it's not particularly hilly. There are a few hills here and there though, and some of those hills have streets on them, so it's understandable.
Nevertheless, it makes it all the more dangerous for the biker in question if cruel gravity forces them to run a stop sign, say with one particular hilly intersection I can think of with a concrete barrier blocking oncoming traffic from seeing down that street until it's too late. If that's the case, it's all the more critical that the cyclist slow down way in advance and slowly work their way down the hill so they can come to a complete stop and look both ways before crossing.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
