- Go to Light It Up
From observations where I live, I am pleasantly surprised how fast drivers adapt and cooperate with four-way stopping when the traffic lights go out. But I agree with you, that it should not stay that way regularly.

and most folks do not understand 4 way stops, or are too timmed to take their turn.

Those changes like no traffic lights are simply an invitation for disasters.

Re: JimmyA
I did not make that assumption and am actually against the idea of automatically replacing most traffic lights with four way stops partially for that reason plus the other reasons I listed in the entry.

We'll always find something to complain about, FSI, and the way the traffic moves is as good a reason as any.

I hate to sound overly cynical but, four-way stops or traffic lights won't make much of a difference when it comes to "crappy drivers." You're going on the assumption that people are still paying attention on the roads . . .
