why would you want stop signs on the sidewalk
they don't go there in the real world why would they put them there in the game
It's possible we're both right, but where I drive around, stop signs are right on the side of the road, which would mean on a sidewalk whenever there is one. Sometimes we see grass in between the road and sidewalk, in which case it would be put on the grass between the road and sidewalk. Placing the stop sign further away from the road will lead to less visibility and people will be more likely to miss it. Maybe you have better, more respectful drivers where you're from so they would know to stop regardless. The general rule of thumb for stop sign placement is "
he STOP sign shall be located as close as practical to the intersection it regulates, while optimizing its visibility to the road user it is intended to regulate," but I digress.
Sidewalks are full of signs, benches, fire hydrants, posts, and other obstacles. We just walk around them-- no big deal. I've never even thought twice about it. The stop sign would be no more obtrusive to a pedestrian than a parking meter and gives older people something to hold onto for a second. Here's a somewhat typical stop sign around Los Angeles, close to Dodger Stadium on the famous Sunset Boulevard.
