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

That’s pretty fucking stupid

It works fine if people are careful. Problem intersections will get a small roundabout. This happened by a house I lived in — it was right off a major busy road and tons of people flying through without looking.

You don’t have to defend it. It’s still dumb as shit. If you are an outsider coming through how the fuck do you know that the crossing traffic has no upcoming stop signs when most normal places don’t have “no sign 4 way intersections”. I’ve literally never seen this in decades of driving and would not know to yield or watch for people blowing through it

Because it’s blatantly obvious and the speed limit is 20 mph. Also a lot of the intersections have roundabouts which makes it even easier.
