      Politics may be a solution. I've no idea what sort of government your   
   town uses but there are probably elected officials who represent your   
   locale.Someone at his office will gladly listen to your complaint. Will they   
   do anything? I think they will give you a nice cup of coffee, but who knows?   
   Most likely there are neighborhood "political action" committees. Speak with   
   them. Speak with a few of the local religous leaders. They'll usually know   
   who is running the neighborhood.   
      Begin by marshalling your arguments. Why shouldn't the intersection be a   
   three-way stop? A waste of gas and time? A cause of accidents? I don't find   
   "it's illegal" to be a very credible argument. Lose it or put it way down   
   the list.   
      Expect to meet opposition. Lots of folks with kids will live near your   
   intersection. They won't like you. Be ready to win them over.   
      
   Good luck,   
   Dave M.
