Homer Watson and Ottawa Three Lane Roundabouts

[jeffster]

That said, Yields are going out of favour it seems, except at roundabouts.  I grew up in a 60's era subdivision that has almost exclusively Yield signs. Modern ones have exclusively stop signs instead, and in a few extra non-intuitive spots to boot.

Of course the common usage of a Stop sign is to treat it almost the same as a Yield sign, with only a "rolling stop" ...

Oh..and that gets me thinking. People stopping (or yielding) at a right of way. Fischer-Hallman (from Waterloo) turning right onto Ottawa (Sunrise Shopping Centre) NO YIELD...NO STOP. People stop here. This used to happen at Fairway off of the expressway, it wasn't a stop or yield, but people did one or the other. So they put lights up "no right turn on red"...well, people go right on red, with a running stop to boot.

Driving isn't this challenging, and if it is. Stop. Just stop driving.
