   Exactly.   
   The example I gave has three stops signs where a tiny   
   dead-end side road meets a little-travelled roadway.   
      
   Go to google maps and enter in these coordinates:   
    37.291379,-121.958411   
      
   I can see the logic of having the ten houses on the side road   
   needing a stop sign where *they* meet the larger road.   
      
   But, there is absolutely no way that the traffic   
   from that ten-house culdesac warrants the other two   
   stop signs.   
      
   There can't possibly be a reason to put that stop sign   
   (there are no schools or other similar pedestrian attractions   
   nearby, and there are no crosswalks or other safety issues).   
      
   The problem here is that the people who put up that stop   
   sign had no regard whatsoever for the law. They misused   
   a stop sign because they felt that people respect a stop   
   sign more than they do a speed limit sign (IMHO).   
      
   So, since they didn't have any respect for the stop sign,   
   neither do I. (yes, I know, until I get a ticket.)   
      
   Here's the back-on-topic point:   
   If the people in California who make the laws have absolutely   
   no respect for those laws, why should we?
