A tiny bit of confusion in the motorist's mind creates a delay, which is what the objective of the sign was in the first place. I TOTALLY agree with Chandra that lots of words lead to missing the message. Better than "Shaggy, Stay" is "Stay."<br /><br />Chandra's admonition rules out "Chandra says you better be careful at this intersection and let others go first. OTOH, if there's nobody else around, don't bother to make a FULL stop, just slow down to make sure you're not going to T bone somebody and then be on your way."Steve Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650405341304401203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-75890216576930994372011-07-31T11:23:59.466-05:002011-07-31T11:23:59.466-05:00The sign makes sense to me, and will likely make s...The sign makes sense to me, and will likely make sense to the rest of the "logical thinkers".<br /><br />However, I do feel that I should say this: In training a dog, one of the rules of thumb, is to keep the command, a short one. For instance, you may want to stick to, "Shaggy, come", instead of "Shaggy would you please come here, can't you see I am calling you?".<br /><br />There will be a learning curve with the sign, IMHO.<br /><br />Peace :)GreenComotionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11272116464292908327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-4691541526784195802011-07-29T21:48:24.610-05:002011-07-29T21:48:24.610-05:00Under current conditions and laws in 49 of the sta...Under current conditions and laws in 49 of the states, cyclists and motorists should make a complete stop at stop signs. In the 50th state, cyclists are given special dispensation. I think we're talking about what COULD be.<br /><br />Why should stop signs only get yanked by vigilantes when they are on bike paths?Steve Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650405341304401203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-19410011984859277512011-07-29T21:17:46.972-05:002011-07-29T21:17:46.972-05:00Under current conditions and laws where I live, I ...Under current conditions and laws where I live, I conclude that cyclists should make a complete stop at stop signs.

We need to decrease the total number of stop signs and go to a verifiable situation where all of us are bound by the smallest number of Yield signs that can be agreed upon.Khalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11866897914538110672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-68491243792861328812011-07-29T20:46:35.264-05:002011-07-29T20:46:35.264-05:00Yield and prima facie is goodYield and prima facie is goodKhalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11866897914538110672noreply@blogger.com
