FYI
Ok so I hope that Nathan doesn't kill me for posting this but he and I agree that this is one of the stupidest things ever!!! Nathan was in a small car accident the other day when he hit an older lady while diving home on Ticklegrass. He was heading West and the other driver was heading South on 4900 West. Now as we (anyone who has driven on Ticklegrass) all know there are NO stop signs or Yield signs for that matter all the way until Beargrass. The "social norm" for this neighborhood seems to be that Ticklegrass has the right of way and all cross streets yield to it which is what Nathan was doing when he T-boned the other driver who didn't yield to him because she was looking for an address and was not paying any attention. When the officer arrived she explained to Nathan that he was at fault (to a point) because in a "residential area that is unmarked you are to treat all intersections as 4-way stops!!!!!" So Nathan apparently ran the IMAGINARY stop sign. Now the other driver was also at fault for running her imaginary stop sign as well. So I guess that means that from now on when you are driving up Ticklegrass you should yield to all cross traffic that is to the intersection first. I'm almost positive that this will actually cause more accidents! Nathan and I will most likely be contacting West Jordan City to argue this exact case because I don't feel that I should have to pay for this lady's car to be fixed because the city didn't feel the need to post any traffic signs in our neighborhood!

Uuug! How frustrating. I have been in a few accidents and they were never fair. Sorry you guys are dealing with that.
Blast! That is a freakin Joke! Sorry. I am glad everyone is okay. Hope it all works out for ya.
That is so crappy. I hope that you can fight it and win. That is kidn of dumb that their are no yield or stop signs on that corner. Hope your car wasn't dented up too bad.
OH I saw some cute eyelet material liekt hat stuff and I want to make it in a dress for a swim suit cover up. I might have to enlist you for help!
That's crazy, FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!! Good luck.
Hey Ambyr! I can't tell you how many near-misses I've had on Ticklegrass. It's crazy. People drive fast, pull out without looking, talk on cell phones and almost run me over, etc. Crazy. Good luck!
