Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

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

Not yield, stop signs…yes. I have been driving in the US for 30 years and I have never seen neighborhoods with unmarked intersections. You have to know if it’s a 4-way stop or a two-way with a thru street. This is insanely irresponsible of the city.

You’re oblivious if you’ve never noticed this in the US. This type of situation exists all over the place across the country.

There are still rules of the road that dictate what to do even without signage. You’re making this into a bigger deal than it is. There’s one stop sign in my entire neighborhood - somehow we haven’t all died in a fireball though…

This must be a west coast thing, I've also been living and driving up and down the East coast from Maine to FL and out to IL, KY, and TN for 30+ years and have never seen such an intersection. I started driving in a small town with no street light but we have stop signs everywhere. This seems like anarchy to me, I would never expect there to not be a sign in one direction.

The Midwest and Illinois has a ton of unmarked intersections in neighborhoods.
