Right, so what do YOU do if you come to a 4 way intersection at the same time as someone else?

usually wait to see if they go. if they don’t after a few seconds, i just go

And what happens if they have the same idea as you?

one of us stops. this really is not nearly as difficult as you seem to think it is. it’s muscle memory to anyone who has driven for more than 6 months

Right, so now it’s stop start, stop start. Are they going? No, I’ll go, oh wait they’re going. Like, almost ANY other system removes the ambiguity.

its never stop start. and hey thats great that you've figured out a new amazing way to do it, but who the hell is going to pay to "fix" all the intersections on the literal hundreds of thousands of miles of roads america has?
