I understand that you can't completely stop with downshifting. I meant that some people see a light turn red, do a couple of downshifts, and then brake.

Cars with automatics always use brakes only, and don't have the brake pads wearing out much. Brake pads are really cheap too.

(I do downshift when going down hills, just not when I know I'm going to a complete stop on level ground)
