Yesterday, about 8:00 A.M., the wife needed to pick up a schedule at church.
I waited in the car and noticed the intersection at the connection to the
road to the interstate. While I was there I amused myself by counting
vehicles that violated the stop. Of 23 vehicles 19 did not stop and 4
actually caused oncoming traffic to brake, one quite violently.
Interestingly 14 of the stop sign violators were female. Late for work? Get
home before hubby does from night shift? Still stoned from meth? One was
applying makeup. One ran the stop and went to a convenience store 2 doors
up. Really no enforcement anywhere in this small town except near
interstate. The 6 local PD cars nail speeders on that stretch and seem to
ignore everything else. Cash cow I suppose. If they know you they just wave.
I passed H one day @ 70+ in 55 zone and he just waved. (We have had coffee
together). The noted intersection is 1 short block from city hall/PD.
