Stop. Or go.

As much as I dislike four-way-stop intersections, due to their inherent inferiority to roundabouts, I have come to understand and live with them. However, there is one thing which still infuriates me, and of course, this is because of the drivers, not the system itself. When I am on my bike, I often find drivers waving me through such intersections even when it is their right-of-way. This is annoying because
(a) it's not always clear to see what their hand-signal really means,
(b) it takes a long time to start on my bike and I can always tell the driver gets frustrated with me,
(c) I wish they'd just treat me like any other road user.

Yeah, that happens to me too. It's a bit like when you're waiting for a queue of cars to pass, and the last one takes ages to slow down and waves you out - it would be quicker if they just kept going! This is why roundabouts are so much better - you'd never let someone onto a roundabout in front of you.
