Maybe a large number of drivers would know, but that’s pure guessing. Could be a larger number of drivers wouldn’t know.

- ceejayoz 8y agoA while back, one of the four-way stops in our area got turned into a two-way stop. It took months for folks to stop treating it as a four-way, despite "new traffic pattern" signs. Another imperfect analogy is power outages and stop lights. For the most part, it doesn't result in full-speed collisions; instead, folks treat it as a stop sign. Self-driving cars are going to need a "huh, that doesn't look right..." system. Detecting missing/defaced/misleading signs should be a part of it.
- ConceptJunkie 8y ago> instead, folks treat it as a stop sign. That's what you're supposed to do. In some cases, the traffic lights fail to a mode where one direction is blinking red, which is treated like a stop sign, and the other is blinking yellow, which is treated sort of like a yield sign (i.e., proceed, but with caution). I believe the law (and common sense) states that if the traffic light it out, you treat it like a 4-way stop sign intersection.
