We are from the Boston area so the traffic here seems calm. As a matter of fact I find the people here too careful. I have been behind people at stop signs and they seem to take forever to pull out. They will look left and right and if they see a vehicle coming a half mile away, they will sit there until it goes by. After it goes by they see another one coming from the other direction that seems like a mile away, too.
We have only been here two weeks and I guess I will have to learn to slow down. Although I don't want to spend the rest of my life at stop sign.
