Mary's note brings to mind two close calls I have had this year at Vine and
Palmetto. Although a three way stop, twice I had to slam on the brakes as I
tried to made a right turn from Vine as cars went through the intersection
at high speed. One appeared to be a student, perhaps not seeing the stop
sign; another was dialing on her cell phone. Have others had near-death
experiences at this intersection? Do we need larger stop signs or other
warnings?
