So, why don't American States just move away from stop signs? Let's admit that most stop signs--particularly 4-way, are a waste of braking, forcing people to stop when a rolling stop and yield would suffice. I know that when I first moved to Krakow, I feared these things, and wondered why they didn't put in stop signs, but i quickly learned the beauty of the yield sign. Yielding of the right of way is clearly delineated already, so this shouldn't be an issue, just change the signs. Only keep the stop signs where visibility is poor, and potentially where there is enough traffic where stopping becomes the norm anyway. Them's my thoughts.
