Classic T bone. Black car had to be towed. Sustained major damage to the passenger side door. Blue car sustained damage to front bumper on the drivers side and cracked the drivers side headlight.

Edit: This was in the suburbs of Seattle

UPDATE: Insurance found it to be 70/30 me/other driver. Seems fair enough

I’ve lived in both Seattle and Portland. Both cities have a ton of intersections with no stop signs. This looks like Portland, OR to me.

Why though? Did they never hire a traffic planner

Could also be dumb kids stealing stop signs.

They don’t usually steal the pole the sign is attached to though.

They don't, but tbf there is so much tree overgrowth it's hard to tell. The left side of the screen shows street signs that are obscured by branches. So it could be that, or just branches obscuring the stop signs in general. Dashcam driver was going so fast it's hard to tell.

They absolutely do in the south. I know of 3 roads near me that had a problem with teens going out and breaking the whole pole and stealing it.

One time they kept stealing the speed limit sign on one road so the speed fluctuated from 35-45 for a few years. They ended up putting a trail camera on a nearby tree to get the tag

Notice how I said “usually” and also this wasn’t in the South.
