An existing M/G/1 queueing model of delay at all-way stop-controlled intersections is updated to reflect recent empirical evidence of driver behavior. In particular, the queueing model has been expanded to account for turning and coordination between drivers who get priority at the same time. An exact expression for an important variable in the model, the variance of service time, could not be found. However, an approximate expression could be verified using a Monte Carlo simulation. A queueing model can produce values of delay that are similar to strictly empirical models, but that apply to a much greater range of intersection volumes.
