Stop signs are shitty and inefficient traffic calming measures. Call your pd but then hang up and call your city planners and ask for better road features, e.g roundabouts and other physical features
The stupid thing is, we all know it. The city planners didn't want to put stop signs in, but my neighbors demanded it. It was stop signs or speed bumps, and the majority ruled in favor of stop signs (not that speed bumps would have been better).
Really, for our street - which goes between a rural highway and a major local artery - the only solutions are to give drivers another more convenient way to cut through, or to shut off the entrance from the highway, forcing them to go another 1/4 mile to the stop light as intended.
