This is one of the most common questions we get. People who learned to drive in Massachusetts some years ago were taught that it was OK, and don't quite believe that the law (MGL c.89, s.9) says otherwise. Happily, the Boston Globe printed a column this weekend, Some old habits aren’t right, or safe, anymore, that spells it out and quotes the experts. So, although it may have been the law "in the 1960s and early 1970s," now every car must stop when they are "at the point nearest the intersecting roadway."

Near the Belvedere Library quite recently as I was going towards CR466 I counted 4 golf carts that either stopped very fast or did not stop at all as I was moving slowly toward them. Three just pedaled right on through without stopping. Cars do these frequently coming off of Churchill Downs towards the Library usually forcing me to brake for them.
