In Australia there are no four-way stops. One road always has right of way. Australia got rid of four-way stops around the 1970s. Someone in America should be smart enough to think this through and change the rules.
Nope. Last year my town converted several two-way stops to all-way stops, and the area is much safer. Two-way stops at the intersection of two high-traffic streets is
not safe for pedestrians. Walking up I St., crossing 11th was scary; it's our main arterial, therefore wide and straight, encouraging speeding. The all-way stop encourages drivers to slow down as they approach the center of town, and makes it safe for people on foot and on bikes.
