They don't stop.How many before it's a child?
This is a real Manhattan Beach intersection with a stop sign. All day, every day, drivers roll straight through it. Watch for two minutes. Then decide how much longer this waits for a study.
See it for yourself
Footage is delayed about 10 minutes so it plays back cleanly and can be verified. Video only — no audio is captured. No license-plate or facial recognition is used.
Manhattan Beach City Council — this is your intersection.
Every figure above is deliberately conservative, and it is still relentless. Hundreds of vehicles roll this stop sign every single day, on a residential street where children walk.
This is not a complaint about traffic. It is a countdown. The only question left is whether something changes before a driver who didn't stop meets a kid who had the right of way — or after.
Watch the feed. Read the method below. Then tell your constituents this intersection can wait.
How the estimate is calculated
The counter is a transparent model, not a live vehicle detector. It assumes a steady traffic pattern through this intersection and a conservative share of drivers who fail to fully stop — then counts forward in real time from January 1, 2026. Every input is listed here so any figure can be checked.
| Time of day (Pacific) | Vehicles | Est. per day |
|---|---|---|
| 8:00 AM – 7:00 PM | ~1 / minute | 660 |
| 7:00 PM – 11:00 PM | ~1 / 2 min | 120 |
| 11:00 PM – 5:00 AM | ~1 / 5 min | 72 |
| 5:00 AM – 8:00 AM | ~1 / 2 min | 90 |
| All day | 942 vehicles |
Applying a 40% rolling-stop rate to 942 vehicles gives
roughly 377 estimated violations per day. The live figure is
that daily rate accumulated since the start date; the whirring
decimals simply show the ongoing pace. As the on-camera detection
system comes online, these estimates will be replaced with verified
counts.
