Well, and a lot of the time you have to creep out to peek around various obstructions so, in practice, there really isn't a hard stop line because you need to go a bit further to see around that tree that hasn't been trimmed.

You believe that not stopping at STOP signs is safe?

Yes, that is obviously the case, which is why almost everyone does it.

Oh stars no. Xe heart skips a beat every time a driver goes right back the stop sign and the white line, especially when they practically put their nose in the traffic lane.

We put far, far too many entrances and exits directly into traffic here in the US. The behavior to normalize should be directing folks onto back roads with much saner speed limits.

Or just replace useless stop signs with give ways.

And now you're normalizing not really mostly stopping and taking a good look before proceeding--which is probably OK when merging but probably not at a lot of cross-traffic stops.

Putting stops in places they needn't be trains people to ignore them too.

I mostly see STOP signs at intersections. Those serve a purpose.

Where are you finding these unnecessary STOP signs?
