They can create annoyance to adjacent residences with perceived noise and fumes of stops and they waste fuel . 4.3 VIEWS OF THE POLICE OFFICER ' All-Way Stops are an effective and efficient method of controlling the flow of traffic and reducing the number of collisions occurr- ing at troublesome intersections where traffic control , signals are not warranted. Would recommend the installation of warranted All-Way Stops but would not recommend their installation if they were coley based on community pressure. 1 The use of All-Way Stops in the vicinity of a school is a valuable safety measure even though crossing guards are supplied. I 7 Rolling stops are a problem at All-Way Stops in areas where there is not a lot of pedestrian activity. The Police do not feel that All-Way Stops are being used as a method of speed control . From strictly an enforcement point of view, All-Way Stops breed it disobedience for stop signs since drivers feel the hazard of a + right angle collision is reduced and tend to. coast through with- out coming to a full stop. On the other hand, more often than not, a reduction in accidents accompanies the installation of an All-Way Stop which, from the point of view of the officer on patrol , I� means fewer accident reports to fill out. !i .I SPECIFIC COMMENTS RECEIVED �. I' There is no doubt several All -Way Stops are unnecessary and have been positioned at locations in an attempt to discourage motor vehicles from driving in the area. I Because of this situation, some people have advocated that All-Way Stops should not be rigidly enforced and that so-called moving stops would be sufficient. We cannot agree with this concept as we feel that this would only encourage motorists to ignore neces- sary traffic controls and render them useless. - 27 - 1027
