A Quick Poll: Power Outage + Stop Light + Intersection = ???
By Jonathan | June 5, 2008 at 8:49 am
Sometimes people just don’t know what they should do. After the power was knocked out yesterday, I was forced to drive in Battle Mode.
What should happen at an intersection when a stop light is not working?
- Faster traffic has the right away (0%, 0 Votes)
- Proceed as normal (0%, 0 Votes)
- Four-way stop (85%, 17 Votes)
- Two-way stop (0%, 0 Votes)
- Bumper cars (15%, 3 Votes)
Total Voters: 20

For the record, my power was out last night for 2 hours. Not bad considering when it went out (6:20pm) I called the automated Duke line and it said the power would be back on by 4:00AM. When I called at 8:15, it said 7:00AM and at 8:30pm, the power magically came back on.

The problem is with the mentality of most drivers - “if it’s not red, I’m going/gunning it” which obviously is great when nothing is on or blinking. (I’ve seen people mess up blinking lights too)

It’s amazing really. When wondering if it’s apathy or ignorance I have to believe it’s a little bit of both. My 17-year old brother knows the right answer to this question…maybe we should instigate a “pop quiz” when people renew their licenses? If people fail the quiz, force them into attending drivers ed again. It always killed me that when taking the maneuverability portion of the test you could hit (but not knock down) all five cones and still pass.

Ummmm….. Thanks for the confidence builder, but I really don’t know the answer to this question. I would say that it should be a four way stop.
