Sure, they are not ideal. They are there because changing road design for safety is expensive and not something that engineers in the US seem to understand how to do. Removing stop signs doesn't magically solve anything. Road design needs to be changed to keep things safe.
- AuthorizedCust 4y ago> Removing stop signs doesn't magically solve anything. It sure does! Look at all the harms caused by unwarranted stop signs in my original post. Removing the vast majority of stop signs removes those harms, and since they couldn’t have solved any problem in the first place, their removal causes no novel, long term harm.
- zip1234 4y agoHow would yield signs would be better for pedestrians and pedestrian safety?
- bombcar 4y agoPerhaps by making it clear to the pedestrian that they should confirm the vehicles are stopping before stepping into the road? I will never trust a vehicle no matter how much the law and signage is in my favor - I will see it stop before I move.
