Consider a four-way stop

Regarding the roundabout at Woodcock Road and Sequim-Dungeness Way (“Roundabout considered for busy Sequim intersection,” Sequim Gazette, March 28, page A-1):

I read with disbelief and disappointment county engineer Ross Tyler’s comment that, “There is probably nothing we can do to make the accident rate lower than it is right now” (while waiting for a roundabout at the intersection).

It seems to me that an obvious and relatively inexpensive solution while waiting for the roundabout project to be undertaken, would be making the intersection a four-way stop.

What am I missing?
