   There could be a good sensible traffic reason (and looking at Google   
   Maps is not necessarily going to make that clear), or there might be a   
   silly reason (they forgot to remove it after road alterations, it was   
   installed at the wrong intersection, etc.). Again, it doesn't alter the   
   FACT that you have to stop at a Stop sign ... otherwise they'd be   
   labelled and called "Please stop if you feel like it" signs.  :-\
