Comments on: Why Does No One in the Valley Understand 4-Way Stops? http://blogging.la/2009/10/27/why-does-no-one-in-the-valley-understand-4-way-stops/ Lizard people dude. Seriously.

On approach cars were barely slowing, but when I arrived a miracle happened and everyone stopped to allow me to pedal across. I felt a bit like Moses parting a steel sea.

If a traffic light goes out it is EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF AND GOOD LUCK YOU BASTARDS. Here in Koreatown no one can manage the four-way stops at actual four way stop intersections.

The residents of the Valley managed pretty well when the Northridge quake took out all the traffic signals. No white-gloved cops then. (Though some volunteers pitched in and directed traffic at some of the busier intersections - it improves efficiency a lot over everybody playing 4-Way Stop.) Maybe some of our recent arrivals aren't as bright about these things. Or, who knows, maybe Chatsworth isn't as well-educated as Sherman Oaks or Studio City. I mean, it's not like "The Valley" is all one single place, where everyone is exactly the same. Odd.
