I'm beginning to get really unhappy with using a key 4-way stop intersection on my way home from work, but the alternatives would add 50% to the distance and vertical climb. Yesterday yet another "courteous" driver tried to wait get me to go out-of-turn at the busy 4-way stop intersection (in the dark), confusing everyone and making the other cars mad at ME. It was clear which vehicle I was in the order, and my foot was on the ground. No I couldn't see the driver inside the dark car, or whether they were trying to make hand signals or something. When it was clear they weren't going I started forward, but had to stop as another who had arrived last at the intersection jumped the line and crossed ahead of me. Grrrrr! Riding in town is hard enough without these unpredictable people!
