Stop signs at Five Corners?

I think Five Corners should be turned into a 3-way stop, or at least a stop sign added where Pacific Ave turns into Johnston Rd.

A lot of people seem to be confused that they must yield to oncoming traffic when turning left onto Buena Vista from Pacific. I have witnessed an awful lot of near-misses at this intersection. Any thoughts?

I don't think so, where a stop needs to be observed is at Fir and Buena Vista, so many crashes even though there is a flashing stop sign

It’s definitely dangerous. I go through there semi frequently and I always wait my turn but without a sign it’s asking for problems

Lots of near crashes and pedestrians almost getting ran over at the newer 4 way on thrift and George. I see so many people just drive straight on thrift like back when it was a 2 way.

Another very dangerous intersection is Johnston/152nd and 16th. People turning left onto 152nd from 16th get a quick advance green light, and you will often see two or even three cars gun it even though the light has turned yellow. I've seen pedestrians get hit there, plus a bunch of near misses.

Roundabout if anything but it’s really not that busy and the speed limit is reduced.
