Perhaps, although it does say "STOP". I suspect it is people stopping
(or at least slowing down), but after seeing cars coming along the other
street, assuming that they will stop. By the time the other driver (the
one with no stop sign) realizes what is happening, it is too late to
avert an accident.

They don't seem to be a problem here. Perhaps it is because they are so
popular that people have gotten used to them?
