I hate this. The one running down to Riverside Marine in Tiverton is particularly bad. My wife was hit at it once and I've been nearly leveled on my bike several times. The excuse the locals give is that there never used to be one there...yea, like 20 years ago

People fly down the hill with 25 foot boats in tow, like they think they could stop if a kid ran out.

Now with the changes from the bridge construction it's worse. There are two stop signs both heading downward and people keep blowing off both thinking they have visibility to their right. What they don't get is that running the stop sign naturally pulls them left because they're trying to get a better view and takes them into the other lane that doesn't stop.

An offset collision is going to happen.
