Life hack: come to a complete stop at stop signs.
@annika Or replace Stop signs with Yield signs.

@annika Also look if people are crossing if you do stop. I had someone hit me when he stopped but didn’t look at pedestrians 😑
@annika I got an annoyingly expensive ticket doing that when I first started driving. It stuck.

@annika

Nice: a literal "life" hack.

@annika whoa that's a bit too radical don't you think
@annika Not until we get more roundabouts!

@john Ughhh I am trying to give roundabouts a fair shake but we have such bad ones here. I think they're bad enough that we call them "rotaries" as some distinct thing? Somebody actually flagged Grant Circle as "dangerous" on wikipedia  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotaries_in_Massachusetts

Folks here do not understand when to yield and when to go.

@annika I know I screwed up in the first roundabout I encountered. I don't remember even discussing them in driver's training, much less using one. It makes sense that nobody knows how to use them. I also have no idea what a good example of a roundabout is.
