Maybe if the placement of these Trail Stop Signs had first gone thru the DNR engineering department like Turn Ahead signs do, there would less of a problem

That's right, I read on here they're taking the turn signs down. Are they taking ALL trail signage down? Even stop signs? Not sure I like that idea. I sure appreciated the turn and stop signs last Saturday night with the heavy lake effect snow, 40 MPH winds and the snow dust kicked up from the sleds ahead of me and my fogged up glasses...

that is a death wish. A snowplow or even a car will take you out big time. It is called "culling the herd". That is a legit stop there. The Mass City stop sign trap is just that. DNR backed in on a dead end road with no traffic but him is a blantant trap. Olaf and I almost got it there two years ago. We were given a heads up before we traveled that stretch. DNR should be hunting down poachers and such, not doing stop sign entrapment. Stop means stop. But let's get real about the unplowed, nobodys home, we are in Florida, driveway stop signs.

Mass City trap stop sign should be a Yield not a stop. Groomer should change it!

Many stop signs should be yield signs...... if there is no traffic for days or weeks at a driveway or fr, they should be yields!

Doesn't matter, people will blow through there anyways. Besides, the stop sign is at Aspen Lane, which is a plowed road, sooner or later, some idiot will find out why it is a stop sign, and not a yield sign, the hard way.

Stop means Stop !!!

If you don't want to stop at the sign... don't do it son.. But don't come bitchin' to the JDer's looking for sympaphy.Sir pay your fine at the second window on the left around the hallway before leaving the building.
You can't miss it. It says, "this window for snowmobile fines only". They installed this window to anoy snowmobilers. You know the one.

They installed the window because of the volume of fines more so than to annoy.

If I got a ticket for a stop sign I would fight. If you know how many stop signs are illegally posted, it would shock you. I have four illegally posted stop signs in my subdivison alone. I run them hoping someday a cop would see me and give me a ticket, so I can throw it back in their face. LEO and clubs can not legally post stop signs. Check out Michigan State statues, google the MUTCD, and get the offical designation of the trail. With enough investigation you would probably win.

Or maybe you could just learn to STOP at a stop sign, sounds like alot less trouble to me.
