How does one avoid creating four way stops anyway? Make all roads one way? Or are you talking about faggy ass jughandles like they have in Jersey?
1 road has right of way (ie a green light) the other has to stop, check for traffic, then proceed when clear.
Those are the flashing yellow lights for one lane of 2 way traffic and flashing red lights for the perpendicular lanes of traffic. Those are way more dangerous over here than 4 way stops.
I have no idea what you're talking about.

I haven't seen one yet.  Irony, in part because the cirlce slows down everyone and let's the jerk get through when all others are patient or courteous.

Okay, picture one of these

Except at a 4 way intersection. Two of the lights are red and flashing, and two of the lights are yellow and flashing. Yellow flashing lights mean "you have the right of way but you need to yield (slow down, which no one does.) The red lights you treat just like a stop sign. You stop, if there is no traffic then you can go.

Hardly, just pointless and impractical. And by the sound of it no one obeys the rules anyway so there's obviously something wrong.

Unless you can still do snow activity, Lake Mead and the Colorado River from Nevada is good enough.

Exactly.  By land area.  You need more density to understand the necessity for 4-way stops.

Colorado or Nevada?  Yes, Colorado is awesome all year long.  But the Lake Mead area is an acceptable substitute considering how much Jaekus wants to cover.

Have you ever been to or even seen a picture of Sydney? But neither the less, why doesn't any of Europe or Asia or South America use them either?
There is no necessity and needlessly dangerous when other much better options exist.

Just because you use them, doesn't mean they're better.

Have you been to America and used our road systems every day for years on end? I doubt it, so how can you say which is better.

Road fatalities per 100,000 inhabitants per year:
Australia: 6.8
USA: 12.3

Road fatalities per 100,000 motor vehicles:
Australia: 10
USA: 15

Road fatalities per 1 billion vehicle-km:
Australia: 6.5
USA: 8.5

There's 3 statistics which would presume I'm at least partly right.

Says the guy that's never experienced them.


Btw, the whole everyone else in the world does it so so should you argument is probably the worst you can possibly make.

Actually, with valid statistics the poulation size doesn´t matter, cause they can be extrapolated. In this case, linking death statistics to the road system is dodgy at best, especially without a source where the data comes from.
