    Argument Topic: Yes we should.

    Replacing stoplights with stop signs would help to reduce pollution since you're not stopped as long as you are at a stoplight, which is good for fighting climate change. It would also reduce the number of car accidents from drunk drivers and distracted drivers since you wouldn't be stopped as long. If you're driving at night, we could just put lights around the stoplight, have the stoplight be light up, have it be glow in the dark, or we could we a stoplight out of LED bulbs.

    Argument Topic: Highways?

    @theinfectedmaster
    Would you have stop signs on an 8-lane expressway with a 65 mph speed limit?
  • theinfectedmastertheinfectedmaster 145 Pts   -  
    @JulesKorngold I think it could work.
  • theinfectedmastertheinfectedmaster 145 Pts   -  
    @JulesKorngold I've seen stoplights on 2 lane roads before.
  • theinfectedmastertheinfectedmaster 145 Pts   -  
    @JulesKorngold People could just easily slow down on those roads though
  • JulesKorngoldJulesKorngold 810 Pts   -  
    Argument Topic: Seriously?

    You expect cars doing 65 to stop for a stop sign?  Traffic lights turn yellow to warn drivers to stop.  Stop signs have no warning. 

  • theinfectedmastertheinfectedmaster 145 Pts   -  
    @JulesKorngold I ride on my breaks when I see a stop sign, which means I slow down and come to a stop when I see them
  • theinfectedmastertheinfectedmaster 145 Pts   -  
    @JulesKorngold We could invent cars to detect stop signs and tell us to slow when we need to.

    When you're doing 65 on a curve and can't see the stop sign,?
  • theinfectedmastertheinfectedmaster 145 Pts   -  
    @JulesKorngold That cars could have stop signs sensors or it could have a GPS screen that can detect a stop sign ahead and tell you to slow down and stop and we could possibly invent cars that do auto slow downs and auto stops, too.
  • theinfectedmastertheinfectedmaster 145 Pts   -  
    @JulesKorngold There are stoplights that light up.
  • JulesKorngoldJulesKorngold 810 Pts   -  
    Argument Topic: Hmmm

    @theinfectedmaster
    Wouldn't a stop sign with lights be a simplified traffic light?  
  • theinfectedmastertheinfectedmaster 145 Pts   -  
    @JulesKorngold No because it's still a red sign just with lights on it.
