Well, let me add this thought to the comments that there are plenty of
residential intersections with no stop/yield signs for any entering traffic
at the intersection. If there are a lot of these, then: (1) clearly these
intersections must be quite safe because local citizens would put up with
unsafe conditions in their neighborhood; and (2) accidents at these locations
would not be related in any way to "busy," intersection-controlled
intersection crash rates.

i lived in brookline mass this summer (just outside of boston) and there
were tons of residential intersections w/o stop signs. at first i thought
that was crazy dangerous...but after a few times driving in those areas i
came to realize that it wasn't so bad since everyone had to be really
careful not to hit each other. i mean, bad drivers make those
intersections dangerous, but any respectful and reasonable driver should
be fine in that kind of situation... overall i felt pretty safe with
those kinds of intersections.
