    Yes, maybe they didn’t know cross rides were a thing, were fatigued and forgot, etc.

    This is why people get killed, unfortunately. We had a teenager, riding through a cross ride, and was killed by a driver who didn’t stop behind the line late last year. I visited the spot, and even with a goddamn shrine set up under the stop sign, drivers were still not stopping. I was disappointed, and furious by this lack of care.

      This is why as much as I like to drive my car fast, we need to reduce speed limits, get rid of left on red/right on red situations, and reduce the number of lanes to force alternatives. Not everyone wants to drive or is able to drive safely. Don’t force them to drive. Give them public transport
