Based on un unscientific reading of posts here, California seems to be the hardest state to pass the test in.

And here's the UK stop sign from the Highway Code - we do, in theory, have them. Along with a sign for no vehicles carrying explosives...

Same. Give Way signs are prominent, but they just make sense. All these full hard STOP signs everywhere is just nonsical. There's one at the end of where my friend lives in LV. Look how ridiculous it is.

The cops sit round the corner waiting for people to blow the stop sign. It's just another law here that makes utterly no sense.

Oh! I remember those.

Revenue generation, because the police will ticket you for not stopping, to stationary, if they see you.

There was one like that near me until quite recently. There was no junction just a 90° right turn, a tight one. I always ignored the sign anyway. But I recently discovered why it had been installed: there used to be a left turn too, over a level crossing, but the crossing had been removed, the road to the left torn up, and all vestiges of the junction removed, leaving a 90° bend, and a STOP sign that it took them more than ten years to realise was no longer necessary and remove it!

There is one at the corner of the cul de sac I live on. I always ignored it, we live near the back of a quiet subdivision, so it is quite unnecessary. Then some kids stole it, so there was no sign to ignore. A neighbor asked me to ask the state highway maintenance department to replace it, I told him I didn't see a need for it and that I enjoyed just rolling out if there was nothing coming. (He's an old fart who didn't seem to like my response.) After about three years he must have worked out how to contact the state himself because it was replaced. I still ignore it!
