Our house is on a busy street corner with 4-way stop signs and crosswalks. We hear the traffic roaring past all the time, and yesterday afternoon at rush hour I watched car after car speed through that intersection without even slowing down.
At least some cars made a rolling stop, but not a single driver came to a complete and legal stop. To make it even worse, parents blast through that intersection on electric bikes with kids on the back, and there's no way a driver could see them in time. Imagine the nightmare of a car/bicycle or car/pedestrian accident in Seattle?
OK, enough of that depressing stuff. Speaking of traffic, I hope to beat some of it with an early start to Twisp tomorrow morning. Just squeezing in one last summery visit before things get busy for us in September.
