There's a STOP sign at the median crossover, people. Not a "roll through and nearly take out cars and kids" sign. I see and experience it everyday. Today, someone's kid was walking to school and almost got taken out by a black Ford F150 that decided that stop sign was optional. He then proceeded to lay on his horn and yell out at the kid. He probably terrified her, judging by the look on her face. So me being me, I yelled out MY window and told him that he had just run the stop sign and that I got his plates. He flipped me off and took off down Tree Lane. Bless his jerk-faced little heart. I just love people. Really, I do. 4951

I wish HPD would pop a bunch of people around here with their clueless driving attitude. You will start paying attention when that wallet starts getting thinner. 4951

@BooBear:
 
I wholeheartedly agree, but it's not a reason to put people at risk. I've even seen daycare vans blow through there when they're packed full of kids. It's scary. It a wonder there's not more accidents at that intersection. 4951

I drive through that intersection every day for the past 10 years. I see people not stopping at the middle stop signs at least two times a week.
 
Also be careful if you are on tree lane turning onto Woodland hills. I have seen probably 15 cars blow through the stop sign like it wasn't even there. If someone is coming in fast to the stop sign and I'm already stopped I wait until I know they are going to stop before pulling out into the intersection.
 
A lady died a couple of years ago at this intersection. Please be careful. 4951

I had a friend who didn't drive and when driving her places I would use that intersection. She always said she would go another way just not to have to deal with it.  It was frightening to her. 4951

There is stop signs on Woodland Hills drive? Kidding by the way for those sensitive people.What makes NO sense ( is that spelled right?) is that there is no stop sign with crossing guard for students there. 4951

@CantStandTex: I have said the same thing numerous times.  Back in NJ we had paid crossing guards who were out there every morning, lunch time and after school.  On days that school was closed for bad weather they were out there in the morning to send the kids back home if they missed the siren saying we had no school.

@dotti573: I no longer have to worry about this as a parent, but it is a concern as a resident (one more notch in my TX aggravation belt). No busing within 2 miles of the school. A large population of walk to school students, fairly high ISD taxes, but no stop sign or crossing guards at school intersections. Its nonsense.

@CantStandTex: My DD rides her bike and she knows that she needs to slow at every intersection even if she has the right of way to watch for anyone doing the California roll thru the stop sign and just flat out running it.  Stop at the stop sign and make eye contact and get the go ahead before she goes.  She has to text me when she leaves the house and when she gets to school and the same on the way home and I have a locator on her phone so I can see where she is at at all times.  Life used to be so easy when I was a kid.

She has to text me when she leaves the house and when she gets to school
 
@dotti573: All reasonable and I guess necessary things. Sounds like you are teaching responsibility. I wish that the town would be more responsible in their efforts.

@CantStandTex: My DH once sat outside the school and then watched her ride home and called to ask why she rides the way she does slowing at the corners and stopping at the stop signs.  Originally she was walking her bike around the corners or across at stop signs but after he watched and we knew she was behaving properly on her bike I let her ride after stopping and getting the ok.  I see some of these kids that are so disrespectful and ride in the middle of the street, on the wrong side of the street, fly out when there is a stop sign.  Drives me crazy.  I have to say, she is very responsible and I am super proud of her.  When I had my surgery in July she did all the cooking, cleaning and laundry.  Didn't burn the house down which was awesome.

@starryskies67: That is not the only place in Kingwood where people continue to see the Stop signs as optional...  When the constables patrolled various villages they would be around and pass out tickets.  I guess everyone knows that HPD does not do that so the running of stop signs seems to have gotten progressively worse over the past few years.  It is ridiculous, no one is or should be in that big of a hurry.
