No Stop Signs

8 years ago

One topic of conversation that is rarely seen on this forum is the lack of stop signs in many cities, especially Chinandega. I have enjoyed my several years here in Nicaragua, but to me this is totally inexcusable. In Chinandega there are major intersections and minor intersections without stop signs and you are supposed to know who has the right of way. Well, my memory is not that good. I have been told that in case of an accident,at one of these sign-less intersections, the person who ran the nonexistent stop sign is at fault. What does this do for tourism development, out of town visitors and truck deliveries with drivers not from the area? I have had numerous close calls and I have seen very little progress in improving this situation. This fact has to play a huge role in making car rentals so high here which also negatively affects tourism. If the city of Chinandega can install colonial lamp posts, a new Virgin Mary fountain, totally ignored school crossing signs, etc., why cant they put a stop sign at every intersection??
