Four More of You Need to Die Before We Fix the Problem

East Palo Alto, CA, a burb to the right of its more well-known and better-funded namesake city won't install a stop sign at a busy intersection which killed a toddler a few months ago:

A review of the intersection by a traffic engineer hired by the city found that though there was also an accident six months earlier involving a young boy, there were not enough accidents at the intersection to warrant a stop sign. State guidelines require five collisions within a 12-moth [sic] period.

It's a stop sign. Also, something makes me think this stop sign would have been installed ten years ago if ‘East’ wasn't in their city name.
