   Did you also know that the sign MUST be a certain width   
   and distance above the ground in order to be legal?   
      
   That is, any other size or distance is unenforceable.   
      
   Also, ALL the STOP signs on private property (e.g.,   
   in a mall parking lot) are, as far as I know, legally   
   uninforcible.   
      
   Note: I'm not talking about how an insurance company might   
   find "fault"; I'm talking about the fact you can not, AFAIK,   
   get a ticket, for running a mall parking lot stop sign.   
      
   Still, it's likely a good idea to at least go very slowly   
   through them, since pedestrians abound at such places.   
      
   Luckily, most people drive prudently, even if almost   
   everyone already knows that none of those private STOP   
   signs are legally binding.
