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." |
Ah HAH. This explains a lot. In Ohio there is NO fudging but I recall getting into sort of a heated discussion with RussBoston on this forum years ago, the only disagreement I ever had with him and it was about Stop Signs.
Jim..Dr. Boogie is to me the epitome of a law follower. Letter of the law follower, so I kept reading this somewhat puzzled. Thank you CFrance. How very interesting. How did you know to look???
In Ohio, stopping for less than three seconds is called a "curtsy".
