I mean, how can we trust the usual brake? A driver's foot could slip off! And a lot of scofflaw drivers don't even come to a complete stop! They just roll right through. So we have to tell them all to stop, put on the parking brake, and turn off the ignition, then we can be certain they have come to a complete stop, and can then proceed with caution. It's easy enough to start the car back up.
