Part 2 is specific to signage. Turn to Part 2B.05:
At intersections where all approaches are controlled by STOP signs (see Section 2B.07), an ALL WAY supplemental plaque (R1-3P) shall be mounted below each STOP sign. The ALL WAY plaque (see Figure 2B-1) shall have a white legend and border on a red background. The ALL WAY plaque shall only be used if all intersection approaches are controlled by STOP signs.
In other words, the intersections you're running into are not in compliance with the Caltrans MUTCD.
- dheera 6y agoYup, and I run into dozens of non-compliant intersections every day. See my other comment below in which I listed several examples on street view that I dug up within a few minutes.
- abduhl 6y agoI understand, but your comment was: "That's right, in California, 4-way stops aren't labelled 4-way" which is true in practice but not any more useful than saying "4 way stops aren't labelled 4-way anywhere" because some intersections may not be up to code. They are SUPPOSED to be labelled. You can probably get them fixed by reporting it to the local government.
- BurningFrog 6y ago"True in practice" is the real truth!
- dheera 6y agoYup, I made an edit, I should have said "consistently labelled as 4-way"
- sushshshsh 6y agoCan you? I can't even get a driver's license renewed.
