This research aims to establish a relationship between time of day and making a complete stop at a stop sign on the campus of the College of Staten Island. On a Friday in October, one hour was chosen in the morning (9-10AM) and one hour was chosen in the evening (6-7PM). At these times, the researchers observed encounters at the stop sign in front of the Recreation Center (1R). The researchers recorded each car that passed by, labeling their actions as “complete stop” or “incomplete stop.” After reviewing the data, out of 198 cars recorded in the morning, only 51 cars came to a complete stop. Out of 204 cars recorded in the evening, only 67 cars came to a complete stop. The findings in this research could potentially be beneficial for both students and faculty, enhancing safety and assuring that the law is abided by at the College of Staten Island.
