This is not a Druid St thing or a Hillsborough thing or a Brownwood thing. It's done pretty much every where in the world by 90% of drivers.
That's the way we did it in the flatlands of southern Ohio. Come up to a stop sign where you can usually see 5 miles either way and stand on it! The only danger was at night because deer don't stop for stop signs either!
