Where Are Boston's Most Ignored Stop Signs?

Stop signs are not optional, but they're sometimes treated as if they are.

 

There are hundreds of stop signs in Boston, but all too often, they are overlooked when drivers are in a rush.

We have all seen it and probably many would admit of a stop sign roll-through at one point in time.  

Do you know of a location where a stop sign is frequently rolled through or ignored?

Share where it is in the comments section, below.

The intersection of Cedar & Terrace Streets (halfway between Roxbury Crossing and Jackson Sq. stations). It's a relatively new stop sign—within the past year—so some unobservant drivers still run right through it. I've nearly been hit at that intersection, on my bicycle, a number of times by thoughtless motorists in a hurry, often with their heads down, distracted by their mobile devices—a potentially lethal combination. 'Head's up!' everyone; and i mean that literally. Kindly get your faces out of those phones. Thanks.

I've always thought every stop sign in Massachusetts is ignored.

Which stop sign on South Street in Roslindale? I see people blow through the signs at the Citizens Bank in the Village.

How about High and School Streets in Ctown, I'd say 1/5 of the cars blow right through that one.
