There's a four-way stop sign in front of our house (25 mph speed limit). Literally every day we see people blow through that thing like it's not even a thought. And the intersection is very well-marked. It's flat, there are no trees in the way as you approach, and there are stop signs on both sides of the lane on each side (the road is divided by a median). This is particularly disturbing in our neighborhood because it's a major walking/strollering/cycling type of area. It's amazing that no one's been struck (to my knowledge). I've trained our little girl to never trust the fact that there's a stop sign, and to look both ways regardless. Heck, I've even personally seen two high-speed chases come through here with both perp and law enforcement going the wrong way down the road. But that's fodder for another discussion...
