Motorists rolling through the stop sign.

And they say cyclists roll through stops. I stood there for an hour 96% of the cars didn't not stop. I excluded the cars which stopped for cross traffic, which has the right of way. As you can see some cars simply yielded to cross traffic. Keep a keen eye out for the wrong way driver. He was in the wrong lane to turn left.

Looks like an example of a stop sign that should be a give way to me. What a waste of gas, brake pads, clutches, and time - if every one of those cars came to a dead stop...

Wow so you have nothing better to do than to sit and watch people perform and innocuous violation? Not one of these drivers did anything to endanger anyone else - coming to a complete stop is just unnecessary

Logically, wouldn't it be better to pay for the additional wear on time, mechanics, and gas budget than to have to pay for a ticket for failure to obey a (clearly posted) traffic sign?

@badbadbadmonkey If it were a yield sign, they would still have to slow way down and possibly stop if traffic was approaching, so there's barely any difference in wear and tear. In any case, as long as it's a stop sign, you have a responsibility to stop.

Aww man, I failed my driving test because of rolling a stop sign. :'(

So what? You don't have to come to a full stop to see left and right if someone's coming (and if they're going right, they don't need to stop to check if a car is coming from the left). Coming to a full stop when you're sure there are NO cars obstructing you from passing is a complete waste of gas, brakes and clutch.

and 96% of stop signs should be yield signs anyway.

I would watch the wheels if the quality was high enough, but its not.
