This is a Parkway on a reservation in the city of Boston and for that reason, I think there is a reluctance to put traffic lights here, but as the city grows, traffic has grown worse and worse and I'm sure they will have to put a traffic light there in the near future.
There are people like this who will try and zip right through without stopping. Being aware of that, I saw this guy coming and instead of making the kind of stop I should have made, I did a very quick stop and go and it surprised the hell out of this guy.
Even though there's no shortage of guys who run these stop signs, the biggest problem is people who are talking on their phones or texting because when traffic is heavy, you'll have 3 or 4 cars coming up at roughly the same time and it's important you keep track of who got there first and if someone doesn't go when it's their turn to go because they are communicating with someone else, it messes everyone else up.
