You would think so, but the purpose of signs at certain intersections is to slow traffic down. Without some sort of signs for long stretches, certain people would start driving through there at 40 MPH or more. This is a very active sub with many kids walking around, people on bikes and animals on occasion. I guess my main point is that it's fine to roll through a Yield sign provided the person does what the sign is meant for, which is to slow down and possibly yield if a car is approaching on Aylesbury. And like I said before, I've come up to that intersection getting ready to turn onto Plumstead and a person blows right through the yield sign 30 MPH, never turning their head left or right. That tells me, either they are stupid or they have no idea what a Yield sign means or both. So perhaps a Stop sign would be better because there would (should) be no doubt what it means.

I know what you mean with people just sliding right past a Yield sign. Too many do that to stop signs, too. Maybe get RCOC to come out and meet with you and try to work out a solution. Maybe a "Yield" on each corner. RCOC could also put an orange flag on the existing "Yield" sign to make it more noticable. We have one in our sub that way.

The traffic control for this intersection has been in place since 1983. These are low speed, low volume, residential streets and the existing traffic controls assign right of way at the intersection. There is clear vision at this location and changing the Yield to a Stop sign is not warranted (meaning this intersection does not meet the "warrants" or technical requirements for a stop sign).

Road Commission for Oakland County

That must be a generic response to every request for changing a Yield sign. I would find it hard to believe that someone from the Road Commission actually came out and investigated this intersection. For one thing, when heading north up Plumstead coming up to Aylesbury, how could it be considered "Clear Vision" when there's a house at the corner which makes it impossible to see traffic coming from your right on Aylesburys until you are almost at the intersection? And also "Low Volume" really? What is considered low volume? 100 cars an hour?

Because the Road Commission claims that there is no need for a stop sign at that intersection.
