You may have identified some warranted stops. Congratulations! In my area, the vast majority of stop signs can be replaced by yield signs, to broad societal benefit.
- cortesoft 5y agoYeah, but the comment I replied to said: > I have yet to see a single city where the vast majority of stop-sign-controlled intersections couldn’t have been better served with yield signs. So I was giving an example of a city where that wasn’t the case. I never said all stop signs are necessary, I was only disputing the point that most stop signs in ALL cities aren’t necessary.
- bombcar 5y agoIn cities where there are streets - collectors - arterials you can remove almost all stop signs because the streets see little traffic. But cities like LA have grown so much that even if they had that at one point effectively every street is a parallel collector and so the traffic volumes are too high. The “rolling stop” is just proof that most intersections could be unsigned, and then use stop and yield to alert to specifically dangerous ones. If you rarely or never saw a stop sign, one appearing would be an awakening.
