That would be great, but they wouldn't be able to do that effectively around here due to the enormous amount of idiots that stop more than a full car length back from the stop line. I see it so often and I still can't figure out the "logic" behind it. The engineers that designed the intersections put the stop line as the correct and safe location for cars to stop, and yet people can't seem to figure that out.

Thats funny Randy. Here we have white painted stop bars on the road surface indicating where you are supposed to stop. In our county most of the drivers seem to think that line is for the second car at the intersection, with the first car crossing it completely before stopping.

That is what you call going to the other extreme.
