Stop sign trap

We couldn't let our son outside to play in the front yard for fear that he'd chase after a stray ball and the drivers wouldn't see him. We later moved to north Charlotte and the first few nights were awed by the "quiet" we hadn't experienced in years.

What does this have to do with stop signs the topic of the thread.

You'd have to know the area Sunny - there are stop signs the whole length of Thermal but people will run them when they think no one is looking, or do rolling "pauses" at best instead of doing complete stops. LakesideAnnie was saying before the stop signs things were even worse with speeders building up a lot of speed on this long street.
