Yeah, and now that I think about it, that has nothing to do with the
stop sign anyway.  The stop sign itself generally adds just a fraction
of a second to your trip (if you obey them, anyway).  I don't think
the stop sign in itself is going to be very directly useful for
routing.  However, I can see a lot of uses for it combined with other
data, such as for statistical analysis.

Wouldn't work (in the US) if someone mapped the stop sign on the left
hand side of a one-way road.
