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

Much better than a stop sign I have to drive through every day on the way to work. It's a S-T-O-P sign, but there's nothing to stop for (you can only turn left or go straight and 99% of traffic turn left .... the road only goes straight or left, there is no road coming in on the right) and most people drive straight through the stop sign doing about 40k's. I rang the Council, they say it's not a problem and the Police control the stop sign, I rang the police and they don't see the problem. Some times I feel like going back at night and removing the sign and see how long it takes to replace ;)
