No. People don't just miss stop signs. If you're missing stop signs slow way the hell down and pay attention.

- TheSpiceIsLife 11y agoA 'Stop' sign means you must come to a complete stop before proceeding. Or rather: a 'Stop' sign means you must come to a complete stop before proceeding or risk being fined if you are caught. It is possible to come to a complete stop before proceeding and still cause an accident by failing to give way. Contrariwise, it is possible to proceed through a 'Stop' sign in a safe manner without coming to a complete stop. In Australia I'm aware of a few intersections with traffic lights that are signed 'Left Turn on Red Permitted After Stopping'[1], which is proof that, at least some of us, are capable of acting like adults, and experienced drivers, and disregard the light / sign when it is safe to do so. Rules hey. I know one local outdoor swimming pool that is signed 'No balls'. No balls in an outdoor swimming pool? It makes me want to drive through the stop signs. Australian roads have some pretty whacky speed limit signs, things like: 60 50 40 30 20 80 70 100 School Zone 70 40 30 25.[2] 1. http://mylicence.sa.gov.au/road-rules/the-drivers-handbook/traffic-lights#turnonred http://mylicence.sa.gov.au/road-rules/the-drivers-handbook/t... 2. as Australian comedian Steve Hughes points out in his act 'While It's Still Legal', see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohogzxiqqkM#t=45m47 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohogzxiqqkM#t=45m47 (Caution swearing).
- nommm-nommm 11y agoI don't understand your point. Follow the rules of the road, it's not that hard. If the rules allow left turn on red that'd great. That's different than not obeying other traffic signs.
