Four way stops

[Dr. Strangelove]

If everyone else is going to play by the rules, why should I have to? I should be able to just cruise through them without stopping.

I have no idea how a four way stop works, but I'm guessing our mini-roundabouts here are similar in a three-way-stop kind of way.

You give way to your right, but every so often you get the situation where everyone arrives at the same time and sits there like lemons.

Ok, I'm rambling on a tangent, but it's funny when it happens. Muppets.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Two roads will intersect at a ninety degree angle, and there will be a stop sign at each of the four branches. Everyone must stop at these. You can then move through the intersection in the order that you arrived at it, if there are other cars there.

These roundabout things are scary. I have only been driving once (in the Bahamas) when I had to navigate them and was very nervous trying to figure it out. Of course driving on the side of the road where I knew I was going to get creamed at any moment didn't help either.

All I know, is people in Ohio are freaking retards where a four way is concerned.

Right and don't even get me started on when the power goes out and the street signals aren't working.

That happened yesterday. A 10 minute trip to the store took about 25 because of the morons who can't figure anything out.



What part of Ohio are you guys from?

Couldn't be more true, Ohio people have no freakin clue what to do at these things. A person gets to the line before I do so they have the right of way but then they just sit there and eventually wave me through. If they all just went when they were suppose to we wouldnt have a problem and it would go smoothly. Anyway, why do they have 4way stops, can't all of them just by 2way and it would always work?

That wouldn't work in heavy traffic areas. Also, it's used in neighborhoods for safety reasons.
