Oh, I&#8217;m not talking about the everyday stop sign, the kind that is unnecessarily put at any intersection between two small suburban streets. I&#8217;m talking about the real stop sign, the kind on an intersection between busy streets that actually requires that vehicles stop. At the stop [...]]]></description>
