Why have stop signs?

Posted in: Oakcliff
I understand why there is stop signs in the neighborhood. What I don't understand is why people don't stop at them? I have seen many folks not stop at the one on Creekwood and Gaines St.
Not to mention, the stop sign on Oakcliff and Gaines. People just run through them as if they are invisible. I think there should be more undercover officers watching these incidents. I seen a decrease in speeders on Gaines when the officers were patrolling our streets. Since that time, there has been more speeders down Gaines. As if Gaines is a speedway for fast cars. Somehow someway we need to fix this ongoing problem in our community.
I know why they run 'em

They're probably in a hurry because they've just broken into my house. I'm not too confident the police are going to worry much about the speeders. Have you ever tried to get the police here after some scumbag has broken into your house? Twice for me. First time: 1 hour. Second time: 45 minutes. Gee, maybe next time, it'll be down to 30 minutes. Or next time, I'll just tell them I shot the bastard and see how long it takes them to show up.
