Comments on: Southern California Stop Signs: A Bastion of Non-Model Citizenship http://www.modelcitizenship.com/2007/05/12/southern-california-stop-signs-%e2%80%93-a-bastion-of-non-model-citizenship/ exposing bad behavior Sun, 05 Sep 2010 04:16:34 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1.3 By: Howie http://www.modelcitizenship.com/2007/05/12/southern-california-stop-signs-%e2%80%93-a-bastion-of-non-model-citizenship/#comment-77 Howie Sun, 13 May 2007 08:50:40 +0000 http://www.modelcitizenship.com/2007/05/12/southern-california-stop-signs-%e2%80%93-a-bastion-of-non-model-citizenship/#comment-77 I like to refer to it as the "California Roll". A certain 4-way stop in a small OC residential neighborhood I know gets a lot a traffic. Most of the drivers break rules 1 and 4. Meaning, not only do they roll the stop, but they also go when they are not supposed to. It's very annoying to be pulling up slowly to a stop sign knowing very well it should be your turn to go, but some knucklehead just rolls on through it so they can cross the intersection first. I see this on a regular basis at this intersection, but I feel somewhat vindicated because recently I have noticed a squad car lurking in the shadows pulling people over.

What license numbers? I just want to make sure I pull the right ones over while I'm sitting underneath my tree sipping my tax-payer paid-for lemonade. hahahaha And WHAT were the makes of your cars again?

If you take the term "right-of-way" literally, you won't go wrong....cars to the right, go first. Simple - effective and already ingrained in our heads from the most basic levels of driver's ed (and traffic school for those who tried to roll through a stop).
