Before, same thing would happen. Obviously the "honkers" never saw (or understood) the sign that said "Oncoming traffic does not stop", and/or were new to the street

You're correct. The lady behind you is wrong. Better to endure her stupidity than to cause a wreck....but yeah, the city should install a third stop sign for that intersection.

Thanks, you guys are funny! Yes, the streetview above is exactly like my intersection (except the sign about oncoming traffic).

Very much like the intersection near me:

That one is actually two of those T intersections back to back.


Quite confusing for a lot of people as the left turns on the main road have no stop signs. Here is the intersection looking from above:

I would personally take a veeeeeeeeery long time getting moving after she blew her horn at me. I would be looking left and right to make sure nothing was coming, and you know, that takes a loooooong time. Gotta be safe, ya know.

No. The best advice is to ignore the other driver. You have no idea what the other driver might do. Why do you think cops always have a cautious approach when encountering an unknown situation? It it not worth the risk to your life.

In NJ you can turn on red if there's no sign at all or one telling you can during only certain hours. So many times people won't go when there's no sign, but that means you CAN. I think people all around need to learn the rules of the road or their local areas better because it can be frustrating sharing the road with people who can't even follow a basic sign.
