A few days ago there was another accident in the same intersection I had my accident. I was not involved thankfully. Same set of circumstances a car ran the stop sign... This was after the town added stop ahead signs and a stop sign on both sides of the road. I cannot understand why people don't stop. From their view point the stop sign is very obvious. No excuses for their dumb behavior. I slow down for that intersection but there is nowhere near enough time to stop a truck. If there was something coming as the view is partially blocked from my direction of travel. I drive that road everyday. I wished people would pay more attention.

They should add rumble strips.
D.Tibbitt, starmac and NavigatorWife Thank this. -
A flashing yellow on east road (the major road) with a glaring yellow on the side street with the stop signs.
Or a large sign that reads violating this stop sign is subject to a $5,000 fine. Your actions are being monitored on camera. I bet some idiot would still do it -
I bet your could even make that sign big bright neon flashing along with audible warnings and someone would still run it

Back in the late 70's I forgot to pay a ticket I had gotten, so on monday morning instead of riding with the crew, I stayed and paid my ticket. I then had 150 miles or so to go to work. Since I had paid that ticket, I watched my speed close, and kept her to 55. I stopped at a 4 way stop at a highway intersection at Sour Lake Tx, and a cop stopped behind me with his lights on, I pulled out of the way to let him go, but he just pulled in behind me. I ask what he stopped me for, cuz I knew for sure I was not speeding, and he said, BOY we don't drive 55 in a school zone around here.
I was not actually in town, so ask where the school was, as I had not seen it. He said, you can see the flashing sign from here, yep probably an 8 ft by 20 ft billboard with yellow flashing lights, was highly visible from close to a mile away, and I spaced them out. lolD.Tibbitt Thanks this. -

GPS must not have told them to stop.

They are to busy on their phones or masterbating to pictures of themselves to give a care about anybody else in the world. The only thing that will fix this world and the stupidity is for to let natural selection take its place and just ride it out
Flat Earth Trucker and AModelCat Thank this.
