Several times in the last couple of months, I have seen police officers camped out at both intersections, looking to nail people for speeding and "running" stop signs (what is often an incomplete stop at an empty intersection). I have seen people pulled over twice. They are typically out at morning rush hour. As annoying as it may be, it is best to stay stopped for a few seconds at these intersections, to give them absolutely no reason to pull you over. People also tend to speed on Santa Barbara, so just know that the cops could be watching you when you least expect it.
