Many traffic crashes occur every year at intersections controlled by stops signs. The most severe of these are typically angle crashes caused by drivers not stopping at the stop signs. The purpose of this study is to measure the compliance rates of drivers at an all-way stopped control intersection in the state of Utah. The study examines several variables that could influence the stopping behavior and decisions of drivers when approaching a stop sign. In addition to age and gender, this study explored factors such as ethnicity, type of vehicle, presence of an approaching vehicle, and time of day. The results showed a low compliance rate. The results also indicated that young, male, and SUV drivers are less likely to come to a complete stop at all-way stop controlled intersections compared to the other groups of drivers.
