Since I was a kid, this intersection near my kids' schools was controlled by a four-way stop sign. About three years ago, it was deemed busy enough to put in this signal (I would guess because so many parents drive their kids to school nowadays, rather than have them walk). To this day, when driving up this street on my way home from work, I may slow and almost stop at a green light, or stop at a red light, then almost immediately start to cross if nobody's coming, before I remember it's a light now. I know it's a signal, yet "stop sign" seemed to have gotten hard-wired into my brain. This will likely get me killed someday.
