The following was originally published on Stratford Patch on our opinion board.
(PLEASE STOP)
If the Stratford police want to balance their budget, all they have to do is sit at the corner of Wilcoxson Ave and Beacon Street and ticket all the people who do not observe the stop sign on Wilcoxson.
I can't tell you how many times I've seen drivers not only not stop but not even slow down while going through the stop sign on Wilcoxson.
If I'm travelling on Beacon, I just assume the driver on Wilcoxson isn't going to stop. Otherwise I would have been in dozens of accidents by now.
I guess their feeling is "It's all about me" or "That stop sign is for everyone else, not me."
I guarantee there's going to be a serious accident at that intersection as a result of people ignoring the stop signs. Police, please do something about this.
