   I don't quite understand what this means. If the Stop sign is in the   
   culdesac where it meets a busier road, then of course there should be a   
   Stop sign, or a perhaps a Give Way sign for a less busy road. Again   
   it's for the safety of both the people leaving the culdesac and the   
   users of the other road.
