True, but given the right government policy the provision of high quality, high speed, highly affordable public transport very much can be changed.

Jesus. Please tell me that's an extremely rare result. Because that is genuinely fucking terrifying.

Well that sent me down a random Wikipedia dive.

In the United Kingdom, stop signs may only be placed at junctions with tramways or sites with severely restricted visibility.[30] Until 2016, each stop sign had to be individually approved by the Secretary of State for Transport.[31][32] This requirement was removed by the 2016 amendments to the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions;[33][34] the responsibility for approving stop signs now lies with local authorities

I remember Tom Scott did a video about a really dangerous junction with one a few years ago. The road layout there has now been fixed so it's not needed.

I've never seen one in the wild though.

Same in the UK. But here most signs are 'give way' so there can be confusion when there's an actual stop sign.

Just ignore them. If they want to be idiots, let them. Doesn't mean you have to as well.
