really I don't see the point of this discussion anymore: I already question the benefit of tagged stop signs in general, as a stop sign itself requires very few seconds of travel time, while a unregulated crossing with a lot of traffic from the right might require a lot more, it all depends merely on traffic density (which itself is quite dependent on the time). But why should we conduct research on "jurisdiction that places stop signs at each railroad crossing" or stuff like this? Is our way of mapping stop signs (or better the "requirement to stop") depending on this?
