Legend has it that someone local to my parents place complained to the nearest town police about people constantly rolling through the stop sign at the intersection in front of their house. The police parked up within sight of the intersection, and the first person they pulled over for a rolling stop was the same one who had called in the complaint.
Story goes the cop immediately gave up and drove back to the nearest town where he came from.
I need one of those for my neighborhood. Everyone rolls through stop signs and they get mad at me for stopping at them. Also someone on my street straight up ran over the stop sign while texting and driving. World class drivers
Where I live, some of the STOP signs have a square white sign underneath them that says "EXCEPT FOR RIGHT TURN". This is unbelievably fucked up because drivers not from the area who see only the back of the octagonal STOP sign assume that the drivers approaching the intersection from the other side are actually going to stop. Even I sometimes forget about the exception sign and get surprised by the other driver barreling on through - although not very often since drivers here so frequently fail to stop as it is.
We've been getting more roundabouts lately. I feel like we need the opposite as I have to sit behind someone coming to a complete stop for an empty roundabout...
I got rear ended by someone because the person in front of me thought a yield sign means stop when merging onto the highway. Fucker didn’t even realize it and drove off
My town has a bunch of people riding bikes because they lost their license from too many DUIs, the rest are drunk drivers that haven't lost theirs yet.
That's because if you signal too early the other drivers move into your blind spot like they're defending a race position. Of course, doing it too late means a crash. They have to see you doing it.
That's why I always hit my emergency flashers right after I commit to the lane change.
