Yeah, that's a good question. I think it's probably a combination of things -- the stop sign on the right is set pretty far back on Franklin St, so cars who don't know the intersection stop without a line of sight to Brookline then proceed before checking for oncoming traffic. The big purple fence certainly blocks the view. But also cars fly way too fast down Brookline Street. I've seen the aftermath of so many accidents here lately.

I've narrowly avoided a few accidents there and it's really hard to see oncoming traffic from the right thanks to that fence.

The stop sign is that far back because of the crosswalk, and with so many pedestrians drivers feel like they have to take whatever opportunity they get to squeeze through.

Stop sign, that’s cute. When was the last time you saw anyone stop for a stop sign? It’s a god damn free for all out there
