Hitting the curb is all you saw.

Come back to Wisconsin. They've become a nuisance now. In Mt Horb there's 5 of them in a 1/2 mile.

They're better than 5 stops in half a mile IMO.

Try telling the moron in front of me that thinks it's a 4-way stop.

Last roundy I went through I kept an eye on the speedo (car) - 25MPH was the slowest speed for an intersection that would otherwise be a 4-way stop.

I wish we had more roundabouts instead of 4-way stop lights in this country.
