It is a crossroad where all the roads have a "stop" sign.
In Belgium/France (and Spain I guess) you usually have a main street which has priority on the other streets, or the cars coming from the right have priority.
But with the 4-way stops none of the streets have priority: it is the car coming first which passes first. I still wonder how that actually works (I think it would be impossible in our countries), but I guess it works if they use that

Understood
and yes in Spain we either have what you say, a main road having priority or the "coming from the right priority".Due to the way people drive
I imagine that many people would want to pass first, and accelerate rather than slow down for that.In Brussels it is already common that cars pass when the light is "well orange", or even when it just passed red...
Totally agreed
if you just think of how intersection crashes happen sometimes even having the "come from the right priority" i don't even want to imagine how it would be with everybody haing the same priority, i'm sure that people would floor it instead of slowing down to be the first one to arrive which would therefore cause crashes, roundabouts are indeed sometimes to get on someone's nerves, i get nervous sometimes because the traffic does nto stop coming so you cannot enter it until you find a stretch and drive into it but this happens to me beecause i don't have much practise yet, but i rather roundabouts over intersections.
