You know those two intersections where Gilespie crosses 215? Down near the airport car rental facilities? The ones with the signs that say "cross traffic does not stop"?
Oh, you don't?
Because you're from out of town and just picked up a rental car?
That's probably why you just got t-boned by cross traffic. Twice. In one week.
Next week they put in stop signs, so now it's a 4 way stop.
Can you see where this might be going? No? That explains why you missed the sign and got hit in the first place, doesn't it?
People who are used to rocketing through that intersection at 55 mph might just fail to notice the new stop sign.
When you have a social contract that only half of the people involved know, things tend to go badly. Then when you change that contract without letting anyone know, things go badly. If you must change the rules that people have followed for years it's generally considered polite to give advance warning.
