You CAN cycle through all the gears and engine breake but if you're looking to slow down quickly on a city street I just don't see that as a viable option. I'm very familiar with the streets where I'm at so I have an idea of what gear I want to be in when I exit my turns. I would (in the scenario you're using) apply brakes and clutch and shift to 2nd simultaneously, upon exiting the turn I'd ease off clutch allow the gears to engage and apply throttle.
