4 way stop intersections vs intersections where there are only 2 stop signs meaning the perpendicular traffic has right of way is too complex of a concept for apparently most drivers in SoCal today. Frequently, drivers who are required to stop slow to a roll and then proceed regardless of right of way traffic.
