Police where I am don't enforce full stop for cars either.
The consequences of two "yield" parties disagreeing about who got to the intersection first are a lot less severe when you're dealing with vehicles that weigh less than their operators. We already have laws that vary according to size and weight: trucks are not allowed on certain roads and highway lanes.
- anon4 11y ago4-way stop intersections are extremely puzzling to me. We don't have them in most of Europe (I suspect all of Europe, but I can't speak for everywhere). STOP/Yield signs always come paired with right-of-way signs, so much so that having a stop/yield or right-of-way sign on just one street of an intersection automatically means the crossing street effectively has the other sign on it, even if it is missing. I think this is because they used to be stolen from time to time and sold for scrap metal. In the case of an intersection with no signs, the person on the right has the right of way, and the person going straight has the right of way respective to the one making a left turn. For T-sections, the person on the main road always has the right of way. For more complicated 5- or 6-way intersections, they put signs, traffic lights or roundabouts.
