   Everyone stops when they come out of a side street which   
   T-bones the main street.   
      
   Whether or not there is a stop sign, I think it's California   
   law that you must stop anyway (I think).   
      
   The signs that are there for "speed control" are the two on   
   the parallel facing part of the same road.   
      
   Those are the signs I blow by.   
      
   There is absoloutely no safety problem doing so, but, of course,   
   were a car to be TURNING (which almost never happens except   
   when going home or coming back from home, which, for ten houses,   
   is a minor occurrance) then they must stop when *entering*   
   that roadway.   
      
   Note that when you're turning INTO the culdesac, you can   
   easily see if there are any pedestrians or cyclists, so,   
   there's no need to stop when turning into the culdesac   
   either.   
      
   The only ones who need to stop are those LEAVING the   
   culdesac, and, they always (naturally) do.
