Got in a Mexican stand off at a four way stop signs.
4 of us got there pretty much the same time. 4 of us sitting there looking at each other. 4 of us inching forward. 1 of us finally stuck his head out the car and said "I'll wait...you go first".
Most stupid Road Authority initiative I have ever seen in relation to road signs. What kind of a genius dreamed that one up.
Surely it's not rocket science to figure out which of the cross roads has the least traffic. I know at this intersection, one is a medium density road and the other smaller residental access. Gee, that was hard.
I think perhaps it time to put new bottoms in seats. Then again, it may be a case of better the devil you know.
Cheers, Maria

I always subscribe to the old "give way to the right" rule as well. In this instance however, there are four stop signs on a cross intersection and 4 cars arrived almost at the same time. Everyone has a car on their right. Imagine the dumb looks. If I had a recorder I'd have filmed it. 4 stop signs on a cross intersection is yet another example of stupid planners and desk jockeys with nothing to do.
