   Between you, me, and the next sign post, I "suspect" what   
   happened, is what SMS reported probably happened.   
      
   When they moved the post office from one location to near   
   these STOP signs, the neighborhood "worried" about traffic.   
      
   So, it made them feel good to put up a sign, whose only purpose   
   was to inconvenience traffic. The sign had no safety purpose   
   other than that, I suspect. By inconveniencing traffic, two   
   things, one may assume, would happen because most people follow   
   the law whether or not the law follows the law:   
   1. They might not use that roadway   
   2. If they do use the roadway, their speeds at that point   
   would have to approach zero temporarily, twice.   
      
   Neither of those reasons justifies putting up a STOP sign, a   
   according to the MUTCD, but, there it is, noneless, basically   
   a sham STOP sign, which, IMHO, deserves zero respect.
