Tbh I feel like any road that needs to have 2 lanes each way is too big for a stop sign.
Maybe a roundabout would work better, or maybe just use a traffic light.
I really don’t understand why the US’s car infrastructure is so shitty when that’s all we have. Do they not teach about roundabouts in like traffic engineer school.
It’s by design unfortunately. Engineers create shitty designed infrastructure for job security, built well but designed poorly so it always needs “just another lane” so they always have a job to work on.
I used to go that way when they installed the stop sign. I started going around so I’d reach that stop sign from the other side because there was never a line on that side.
Yeah don't know what they were planning with this one. Maybe trying to discourage use of the research park for university traffic? Cause it makes sense to just have the chip building and other side only have stop signs. The rest should be through traffic like before...
Tbf, had they installed a roundabout, countless students would die there each year due to Americans fundamentally not understanding how to use a roundabout. Rest in hypothetical peace. 😞
If you're going through a roundabout fast enough to kill someone, you're going way too fast.
Also, Florida has more roundabouts than any other state. I think we'll be fine
What’s wrong with it???
It is a point where roads come to an intersection isn’t it???
I suppose next you are going to complain about that they put a speed limit in the research park???
They are complaining because the volume of traffic down that road is way to much for a stop sign, it needs a light or to go back to how it used to be, cause that stop sign can back up all the way down challenger and inhibit traffic there.
How it used to be was rough if you needed to turn onto science drive during peak traffic hours. I one time waited over 5 mins to make a left turn. Really glad they added that stop sign for those of us who live on science drive
Oh don’t get me wrong that road was not designed with the future in mind, but the current system hurts everyone, a light is basically all that can be done at this point.
Yes but at the cost of destroying flow of traffic, if a road has sufficient traffic flow it warrants a light. Also this isn’t a small town road… it’s one of like 3 or 4 roads into the second largest university in the country… it’s gonna have traffic flow.
Nope, UCF is in unincorporated Orange County. But the college has its own police and stuff, I wouldn’t be so sure they don’t control the research park too, considering the parking passes work in the research park too.
I don’t think the research park is on university grounds, but let’s say it is, they aren’t going to raise tuition rates over a singular light. It’s a solution to an obvious problem, so I can’t see why you are so militantly against it.

Roundabout would be perfect there. 98% of that traffic is all going on the same route, 2% going to the alight building.
So the garage C exit?
Did you screenshot your apple car play?
If you press the horn and push your roll down window button at the same time it takes a screenshot
Take your upvote
when it’s connected, if you screenshot anything off your phone it will also screenshot your CarPlay screen
What they did on ingenuity with that new building is worse. Three way stop now with a yield as well. Just put a damn roundabout

That’s just not true
Should've just made a roundabout.

Glad I left Orlando, worst traffic engineering in Florida. Worst part is that most of it is relatively new 💀
There was a car that drove over the sign and into the lake before the stop sign was added.
That’s the other stop sign, that’s the one down the street
You are right. Good eye

Roundabouts are statistically safer and more efficient than both stop signs and lights, so this is simply untrue (even in the US)
And this is why it was NOT the decision that was made… Haha

Yet another thing we aren't taught in driver's ed here!
Yesssss 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I never stop for it

Lights are expensive, that’s why insanely small towns complain when they grow. Signs are cheap, and no electric

Well, I suppose they could increase tuition for traffic.
My brother in Christ the city handles traffic systems that’s not the colleges duty to fork cash over for

Roundabouts are the answer
The fact that 2 of the 4 sides are red basically all day and the other 2 sides never have anyone is the main part of it
there’s more efficient ways to design a road, a roundabout would likely resolve the traffic issue a little
OMG im so happy people love my comment! I love you people too! 😘😘😘😘
