CAUTION
[day 196 part II]
The street I live on only has one stop sign. The 2 side streets that meet up with my street have only yield signs as they don't get much traffic probably due to the fact that all the side streets on one side are dead ends.
That is why we were surprised to find not only a new 4-way stop sign pop up on our street but also a roundabout. One of these side streets is a dead end...as in NO traffic. The other side of the street is a small church that only has cars parked at it on Sunday.
In order to get one of these built you need to get signatures from people that live in the neighborhood. Plus you need money. A friend that lives a few streets over has been trying to get something similar built on her street. A street that has so much traffic that accidents in front of her house are common. But if you can believe it...she is unable to get enough signatures. The consensus is that the church probably had something to do with its construction. As the neighbors that actually live on this corner are the ones that put up this sign.
The roundabout is such an eyesore. Nothing was done to make it at least look pretty as I have seen in other neighborhoods. It is just a bit concrete circle filled with dirt in the middle of the street.
