i use to encounter this phenomenon a lot on my former daily route from our old house which included crossing a couple dozen 4-way stop sign intersections, but on my new route from our new place, i only have 1 such intersection on my 8 mile route. for all of the other intersections that i encounter, i either have right of way or it's controlled by a traffic light.
so for me, the problem is definitely not getting worse, but that's solely due to my lack of opportunity to encounter it.
