What to do four way stop
Why do a couple of stop lights on Broad St. have blue lights instead of green?
Ok… but most still don’t know what to do at a 4 way stop…
It's really sad that you have to tell people what to do when they're out.
Some of them will slow down and then they take off they don’t pay attention to caution lights . That’s why a lot of accidents same thing with 4 ways stop
