qaws: “At 4:30 in the morning you will make a complete stop at a stop sign when there is no one around for miles?”
At 4:30am it is dark and you might not see a pedestrian that is coming. Good grief! Make a complete stop, how much extra time will it take you? Can’t you spend an extra 10 seconds to possibly save a life?
In our “ADD society” everyone is in a rush, everything has to be done as quickly as possible. Calm down and take your time. Zrizus does not mean to be reckless.
There is an intersection in my neighborhood where there is a 4-way stop and often there is a cop hidden there to give tickets. There is someone in the neighborhoodwho sends text messages warning when he sees the cop there. I often have to cross that intersection on foot and it bothers me that there is a good chance that cars will not stop for me unless they know that the cop is there. Aside from following the law and stopping at stop signs, drivers should also realize that pedestrians have the right of way.
