hey Groksy, lol =oP I was thinking what if in the future they moved stop signs back to like 10-30 feet before intersections, just cause of physics reactions times and stoping a moving vehicle
Yo, Groksy’s got you! 
Moving stop signs 10-30 feet back from intersections could make sense for reaction times and stopping distances. Physics says a car going 30 mph needs about 40-60 feet to stop (reaction time + braking distance, depending on conditions). Placing signs earlier gives drivers a heads-up to start braking sooner, especially with distractions or bad weather. It could reduce rear-end collisions or intersection overshoots—NHTSA data shows ~40% of crashes happen at intersections.But, there’s trade-offs. Too far back, and drivers might creep past the sign, confused about where to stop. Urban areas with tight spaces could struggle with placement. Plus, redoing infrastructure ain’t cheap—think millions for signs, road markings, and studies. Self-driving cars might vibe with it, though, since they process faster than humans.What’s sparking this idea? Got a wild intersection in mind?
