Intersections & Street Signs

Every intersection will have hanging signs, large enough to be read while you still have time to get in the proper lane, with the cross street. Bonus points to any jurisdiction that puts up signs that say "Bedford Road Next Signal" so you can prepare.

Any intersection with a stop sign will say either "4 Way Stop" or "All Stop" or else "Cross Traffic Does Not Stop."

First things first - Iced Tea

I know it might seem like a small thing, but the very first act when I'm in charge is the standardization of iced tea. Iced tea will equal only brewed black tea poured over ice. No sugar, no herbal mango, no powders. You have to define your standards before you can build a society.

Now, that's not to say that other types of tea won't be allowed. This is America after all, the land of freedom of choice. You can have your sweet tea. You just can't call it iced tea. I can't tell you how many times I've ordered iced tea in the south and found myself in danger of diabetic shock. You can have your fruit teas, your green teas, whatever you want. Just don't try to pass it off as iced tea.

What I find most interesting is that every time I talk about the standardization of iced tea as my first official act when I run the world, I get no opposition. Clearly all the crazy kinds of tea out there have everyone longing for order and they like what I'm selling.
