Stupid Stop Signs


Frequently driving home from QPAC, I come across one of the dumbest Stop Signs I've seen. Where is this stop sign you ask?

It's at the end of Fish Lane, as it turns into Grey St.

Now why is it dumb you ask? Yes - Grey Street can be a pretty busy road sometimes. So it probably is a good idea to do something to regulate the flow of traffic onto it.

But here's the problem. Here's the view you have of straight ahead when you've pulled up at the Stop Sign according to both the sign and the road markings. Seem fine so far?

Okay. Now look at this.

Have a look at the view the driver has of the on-coming traffic. Notice any difficulties you might have? How about you can't freaking see the oncomming traffic. Reckon that might cause an issue or two? Posted by Picasa
