In Australia, stop means stop. If it’s safe for you to roll through, there will be a GIVEWAY sign. But if you roll through a STOP you’re an absolute fool who’s risking the lives of yourself and others. We don’t have four-way stop signs. We have roundabouts, or give one street priority and the other STOP signs in cross-streets.

I recently passed my California driving test, and I’ve observed that the placement of STOP signs here does not correlate with safety in the same way as Australia and lots of people roll through them.

I think self-driving cars would do a lot better in Australia.
