STOP signs mean STOP, right?
Has anyone else noticed how few people actualy stop at a STOP sign? I mean really stop, not come to a rolling stop, or stroll out into the intersection. I am amazed at how many cars roar through the intersection of Highway 59 and Loop 463, and the STOP sign there is huge. Isn't it worth stopping for a few seconds to avoid killing someone? Or maybe it's too confusing to take notice of a STOP sign while talking on your cell phone and slurping down your extra large drink! I would appreciate any comments on this, I can't be the only person who notices this.

Just like BJLewis, I’m from out of state too. However, I’ve never encountered driving like this in the other two states I lived in. My only guess and justification would be…lack of driver’s training here? I’m by far the best driver out there. However, I have a lot of complaints especially about Navarro Street. I know that I’m definitely not the only one. A lot of people I work with do their best to avoid it completely. I can’t. I made a blog a little while ago about it. I’m really paranoid about driving down Constitution Street (off Main Street) because I don’t have a stop sign, and some drivers think it’s a 4-way stop. I’m guessing they expect me to stop, but I just slow down. posted by

Coming from out of state, I have just come to associate this as driving the Texas Way. I have never seen so many instances of people running stop signs, (which led to my accident last Dec. a block from the Advocate. A woman ran a stop sign and plowed into me), running red lights, driving when there is only a green turn signal, not using turn signals until the last minute if ever, following insanely close to your rear bumper, I mean correct me if I am wrong but it seems like people are doing their best to get into an accident. I don't know if they just have really good policies or what.
