Yes the ones I am talking about are 2-way stops. But they have been adding the "cross traffic does not stop" signs below them. Isn't that what a 2-way stop means?? And I agree that some "wierd" 3-way intersections still need the signs.
All of the intersections I have seen in my 40+ years of driving (until recently) have either 3 or 4 lights in the left turn lane. They are red, yellow, green, and sometimes a green arrow below that. Easy to understand: on red you stop, on yellow get ready to stop, on green light you can turn left but need to yield to oncoming traffic (they also have green), on green arrow you can go left and the oncoming traffic still has a red. That's my point -- that is how it always worked and was easy. But people today don't know what to do so now they are adding yellow turn arrows and signs telling you when you are allowed to turn.
Yeah that's another one!
Sounds like he had the "new" signs with the cross traffic warning below them and STILL didn't know what to do. So neither the old or new way would have helped this challenged driver.
Pretty soon we will need to have entire placards hanging at every street sign and stoplight. Reminds me of Five Man Electrical Band ....
