Texas Drivers Now Break This Law All The Time, And Don’t Care

Killeen, Texas has often been described as a town that has grown so quickly recently that the city's infrastructure has not been able to catch up, let alone keep pace as more and more new residents arrive. One thing about being a post town is you have a lot of transplants from across the country, and sometimes even the world that will all have different approaches to driving.

One thing that is very common in former small towns that evolve into big towns and then eventually cities is a progression of uncontrolled intersections, to yield signs and right of ways, to four way stop signs, and then finally traffic lights.

What is the proper way to use a four way stop intersection in Texas?

This does not matter if you reach the intersection in a multilane or single lane, it is pretty simple about how to take turns. If you stopped first, you go first after coming to a complete stop.

Sometimes people get a little confused when someone else stops at the same time, you simply yield to the vehicle to the right, but if you are directly across from each other, you yield to who ever is not turning. If you are both going straight, the only way for you to screw this up is if you collide with the other vehicle.

Same rule applies, the only important part is you must come to a complete stop. No, rolling through a stop sign is never legal in Texas, and yes it is obvious nobody cares.

How can Texas prevent rolling stops, and improve infrastructure?
