    I’m willing to hear you out. Your evidence for the sign being “wrong” is that it wasn’t discovered? Do you think that city workers would check to make sure the sign still said 07:00 and not 07:30? Why in the world would they check things like this?

      Imagine you take out a good made stop sign. You’d probably have a lot of crashes in a short period of time and soon it would be discovered that something is wrong.

      Apparently it hasn’t happened, so it doesn’t seem to be causing a lot of trouble.

      The sign is there for a reason. If after modification that reason has not manifest itself, most likely the modification is within the margin of what the people who is regulating traffic want to happen.

        Not everything needs to be on the same scale of safety. I’m not saying that this particular rule was 100% perfect, just that it’s not up to individuals to undermine them arbitrarily, and just because no one noticed in ten years does not mean that it was ok to do it.

        I’m glad it’s not causing a lot of trouble anyway…
