I don't know about you, but in my mind when I see a yield sign...i'll stop if it makes sense. I don't feel that the stop sign changes my desire to not run over someone all that much. As a driver I want the flexibility to make a judgement on if stopping is required based on the situation. Maybe a red sign makes sense to provide additional information ("this is a bad intersection, be extra careful!") but I don't like that the sign requires me to stop, even if it doesn't make sense.
This goes back to my ongoing complain that driving laws are very relaxed (i.e. speed limits never complied with - but for some reason we still have them?) and its causing an inconsistent approach to driving. For example, hardly anyone signals when turning or changing lanes, and if they do its by the time they're already well into the turn. Its just bad driving, dangerous and quiet frankly while I do not want stricter laws, or more enforcement...i'd appreciate some consistency in how people behave on the roads.
To me this is just adds to the vibe of the 'broken window' issue with roads and how people interact with them right now.
