   I don't.   
   I surmise that the people who put up the signs didn't   
   respect the law.   
      
   I surmise that because I know what the traffic is on   
   that road.   
      
   But, even if I didn't know the traffic, most of you   
   who look at that google map can see there is absolutely   
   nothing that warrants those signs.   
      
   In addition, I "suspect" they didn't even do a traffic   
   study, or, if they did, that the data is stale (since the   
   signs have been there since I've been there).   
      
   Besides, most of the other similar streets in the area   
   don't have stop signs, so, the traffic counts must be   
   the same (or very similar).   
      
   So, come to think of it, it must be accidents only which   
   can be *different* at that particular intersection.   
      
   Hmmmmm.... mmm... is there a way to get from the town   
   those statistics of the traffic accidents (perhaps caused   
   from cellphone use) at that particular intersection?
