I always found the number of stop signs in the US to be pretty crazy. Where visibility is good why not just have a "give way" instead? Also the car needs to use even more energy to get moving again so this would have financial/environmental benefits too.

A lot of unnecessary stop signs are there because someone wanted them there. Every subdivision thinks they need a 3 way stop at the entrance, so they start complaining and eventually the local government caves and installs one because it's relatively cheap to install a few signs (and it's easier to ignore the traffic engineer who says it's unnecessary than the dozens of people who live in the subdivision)
