********************

I am not a police officer but recently, while waiting for a city bus, I was intrigued by the number of cars not coming to a complete stop at a corner where there are four-way stop signs.

This is at the corner of Oxford and Regent streets. There is a school at the top of the hill. Has the law changed?

Today, I counted 19 cars. They came to the corner and sort of looked, sometimes not always, and rolled through. Today, also, a police van (no lights flashing) rolled through. Of course, when the school crossing guard is there, they have no choice.

Please take your time drivers and look all ways and come to a complete STOP.
