I'm a sheltered person because the area that I live doesn't have any of these? Yeah good rationale buddy.

there's also some idiotic fvcktards here too.
we're sheltered because we don't drive through residential neighborhoods? i assume you guys mean like a housing development kind of area?
just because you live in a $500,000 home doesn't mean we all do...oh wait, this is atot, we do live in $500,000 homes! duh!
Nothing to do with $500k homes. Old areas have more uncontrolled intersections than suburbs anyways...
edit: I was actually implying that sheltered people that live in the 'burbs have never taken a drive through the ghetto.

Not leaving the area you live in is pretty much the definition of sheltered, no?

In MN it's the person on the right, but I'd assume that's everywhere. However, if you value your life, I'd stop anyway.

I just thought I should pint this out: no one has the right of way. Ever. The lay states the driver must YIELD the right of way to another. There really is a difference.
So you have never driven before, correct? They are all over the place; in every state, including PA. You just don't recognize them as you go though them if you are not a driver. If you are a driver, I weep for other drivers in PA.Originally posted by: 2Xtreme21
I've never seen a 4 way intersection without at least 2 stop signs. That is a potentially scary situation right there...
I honestly can't think of a time that I have seen a 4 way with no stop signs either the same thing too and I am from Pittsburgh also (we both go to University of Pittsburgh)...

I've been through a variety of areas in a multitude of states, and I can't recall a time that I've seen a 4-way intersection without at least a stop or yield sign posted. It's possible I've come across some, but again, I can't actively remember any.

There are at least 20 uncontrolled intersections within a mile or 2 of my house. Like I said before, they are everywhere, you just do not realize it.

no, but they have this one distinct characteristic... that odd shape. you can tell most traffic signs by their shapes, which was one of the intents of making them those shapes...
i had to think hard to realize that almost every small intersection in my neighborhood is a 4 way uncontrolled intersection... i slow, and if cars are loser to going thru than i am ill stop for them. if it seems they are going to go thru regardless of me being closer, ill stop for them. personally, i like my truck and dont want to repaint it right now... ill cede to another driver if it keeps me on the road and scratch free.

Is what you'd have to be looking for to verify whether the other lane of traffic has a stop sign.

when 2 cars approach a 4 way intersection like this ..http://www.ci.san-ramon.ca.us/police/images/4way.gif with no stop signs, who should stop?

I dont think we have any 4 way intersections without some kind of yield or stop sign here in NJ. If we do, i havent been through them. We do have some roundabouts (traffic circle) though, and when going through a roundabout, you give way to traffic coming from the left.

We do have them in NJ. When I took my driving lessons my instructor took me to a neighborhood and taught me how to deal with uncontrolled intersections. They're mostly in sparsely trafficked residential areas. You probably wouldn't know one if you drove through it, because you don't have a sign and it's pretty rare to meet another car at one.
Traffic circles are a different story, and they usually have yield signs at the entrance so it is explicit. At some circles where one road is more prominent than the other(s) there are even yield/stop signs in the middle of the circle so the people entering the circle have the right of way. This is true of the 202/206/28 circle in Somerville and the 202/31 circle in Flemington just off the top of my head.
