[@tonyblake7569]

@Andrey Angere is that the law? I know plenty of intersections where you don't have to stop, like two spots have stop signs but the other two don't. I could even see if there was something blocking it, but if there's nothing blocking your view and you stopped at the stop sign, and you can clearly see there's no other vehicles why would you have to stop where there is no stop sign? It's possible that's a local law. I know an area near where I live and a guy I work with got a ticket for turning right at a stop light and not stopping. Thing is he had a green light. It's a law in that city that you treat it as a stop sign if you're turning right even if you have the green light. I haven't seen that anywhere else. Yes if you have a red light since cross traffic would have the green but if you have the green then the only reason you should check is if someone runs a red light or someone coming from the other direction is turning left. Both would also affect if you just went straight through the green light but you don't have to stop at a green light for that, just turning right. And again if you had to stop at both the sign and intersection why not move it up closer to the intersection so you don't have to stop multiple times at the same intersection. He waited 9 seconds so I think he was waiting for traffic then went when it was clear. And since the cop let him go, and didn't mention he has to stop twice, I'm guessing the cop knew he was wrong.

First off, $1,900 is insulting. Secondly, this would not only leave him out the money that the land they want is worth but then the value of his home will plummet. Thirdly, we just saw on camera that someone failed to stop at the sign. The problem isn't the road, it's your local law enforcement not sitting there handing out tickets until people learn to drive. I would recommend abandoning the project as it is. Replace the stop signs with signs that have flashing red lights and add a small speed bump. A place in my town was like this, a wall that keeps the him next to the road from washing away blocks your view to the right and trees block the view from the left. There is a speed bump so small that you done even really feel it but you do notice it and the sign has flashing lights. If you cross the straightaway without stopping then you should have your license taken away. I've nearly been in an accident at this spot when someone ran the sign but since they added a handful of asphalt and two blinking lights I don't see anyone fail to stop now. $1,900 just to buy this man's property would cover the cost to do the same at every stop sign in their town I'd imagine. That doesn't even touch how much it'll cost to dig up the bought property and the existing roads and lay entirely new road down. What a waste of tax payer money. They could MAKE money by adding a bump and lights and have officers ticket violators. This town needs new officials.

[@71160000]

I went through the same thing years ago with my last home. They wanted to widen a two lane road to four and that meant taking 20' across the front of my property. I told them up front that I didn't want to sell, that the land was worth more to me than almost any amount of money. Of course at that point they threatened me that they would take the land and give me nothing. Is this really america. I went to all the meeting where they explained how if people living along the road would donate the land they could take a tax deduction on their income tax. Oh sure that going to be a good return. I argued with them that they didn't have enough money to buy the land and build the road. Which they didn't because no one donated the land except for a couple of developers who wanted the road widened. I expect there was campaign funds donated for the county commissioner for widening the road. At any rate I eventually gave up and at that point decided to make them pay as much as possible. They ended up paying me almost what I had paid for the entire half acre my home sat on but I ended up with my homes bedrooms being thirty feet from a four lane road. Best to move which I did eventually. I personally think the state or county should have to pay three times the going price for every foot of property taken.

Eminent domain is a legal action where your "fair market value" is determined in court and you are issued a check along with an eviction order.
