4-way Stop

I'm pretty sure that no one else would find this intersting, but I'm very happy about it.

I noticed last week that a 4-way stop was placed at the intersection of 23rd Street and Castro.

This is big news. I used to drive through that intersection all of the time. It was inbetween my place, and both houses where Dick used to live. The problem was that it was a stop for those of us on 23rd street, but not a stop for those on Castro. It was a steep hill on Castro, and was a horrible intersection! It was difficult to see whether or not traffic was coming, and it was confusing for all drivers. It always seemed like it should be a 4-way stop.

I used to say (only half-kidding) that this intersection would be the death of me someday.

Dick and I (and my family) have figured out all routes to/from our house to avoid that intersection!

Anyway, I'm sure that there have been many accidents in that intersection over the years. I'm relieved that the city has done something about it.
