Stop signs are for stopping!

A recent report on our city mentioned cars not stopping for stop signs. Part of the Land Transport Act says a car's wheels must stop rolling at a stop sign.

As a result of an earlier happening I stood at one intersection recently and in under 10 minutes I saw nine cars break this law.

The reason I did this was that a few months before I had stood on the corner of 11th Ave, Christopher St and St John's St and in the space of 15 minutes, counted 45 cars doing the same thing.

So I wrote to the NZ Police Community Roadwatch detailing the above paragraph's facts. I'm still waiting for an answer.

If they happen to have a blitz in the next week or two and you get caught, perhaps you should read The Weekend Sun.
