   You guys have a good point in that I should request a copy of   
   the traffic study that validated that the traffic (which must   
   be as high as 6,000 "units" per day on the main street) study   
   validated the requirements of the NHTSA.   
      
   I'm pretty sure that there is no way these stop signs meet   
   the requirements - but - as you noted, if they will provide   
   the proof, I should ask.   
      
   Of course, that's a lot more work than just disrespecting the   
   law by not stopping. Note that it's not at all a safety issue,   
   as I *would* stop if a cop were there (unless I let them know   
   ahead of time, to make the point) or if there were a pedestrian   
   expecting me to stop.   
      
   I do *not* stop if an opposing vehicle expects me to stop,   
   but I would stop, out of an abundance of caution, if there   
   were, perchance, a vehicle entering the main road from the   
   side culdesac.   
      
   Of course, in practice, *that* never happens simply becuase   
   there is no traffic to speak of on that side road.
