  1. I drive Penns Hill Rd daily. This is the road where the stop sign is located that the driver did not stop for. I would like to say that now that the trees have full green leaves on them you do not see the stop sign until you are right on it. I do not know any of these people involved but to just assume the driver ran the stop sign on purpose is not right.

    1. Lisa;
      Thank you for reading THE CHESAPEAKE TODAY.
      The stop sign is fully visible and the intersection is visible in all directions to anyone intending to obey the stop sign.
