[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 321349, member: 27"] I hate these: [ATTACH type="full"]37033[/ATTACH] Why, you ask? Because someone in city government decided to place dozens of these around town on busy streets with crosswalks. I know it sounds like a "good deed," but they are causing havoc. People see the "stop" part of the sign and decide to stop [I]regardless of whether anyone is trying to cross the street. [/I]If no one is trying to cross the street,[SIZE=6] you're supposed to keep going!![/SIZE][SIZE=4] One street near where I live (which has restaurants and businesses on it) placed one of these at each crosswalk in the middle of the street (six in a row), and it is now such a nightmare of slamming brakes, near-misses and frayed nerves that I don't even take that street any more. The tourists are already clueless in normal traffic flow, but this is pushing it over the top.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
