Several times a week, I almost get creamed by traffic running about 20 feet past a stop sign from a road that I make a left turn onto. Several times, I have actually cut my left turn sharp to go behind the car running the stop sign. I thought about just throwing up one of those really annoying plastic speed bumps at the white line, but they cost $200+. Maybe I could steal one from around the abandoned mall. But fuck that.
How do I go about demanding that the city fix this shit? The best thing would be to turn it into a roundabout, but $$$. A speed bump would slow these idiots down really fast, or bend the shit out of their rimmmzzz.
change.org petition. They work 100% of the time.

Other route is worse. I have a legit complaint about that, too.
For the time being, I will just sound my horn every time I make that left turn.
Buy dashcam. Get car upgraded by some other retard's insurance. Repeat if necessary.
Or I guess you could just compile dashcam footage of stop sign runners. Put it on youtube, make it viral until someone bugs council.
Another vote here for showing up at the city council. They like pretty pictures, so sketch out some diagrams, And be relentlessly polite.
I've never understood our love affair with stop signs.

I have a dash cam, and I've been meaning to install it. The drivers here are outrageously fucking retarded.

Exactly. They are ridiculously overused.

Petition for a traffic circle.
There's usually a city hotline you can call.

Those are so much more expensive than signs and cleaning up wrecks though!!!

I was reading email while that played on the other screen and more than half of the drivers did not stop. Some blew through at high speed.
