Legally speaking, it's not DOT compliant and unenforceable. So you don't have to stop at all. And if you want to, you can actually file a complaint and have it taken down. Traffic control signs must be approved and provided by the city/county.
Anecdotal: I filed a complaint when neighbors erected a speed limit sign in our neighborhood and put a camera on it. They were told to take it down or it will be forcefully removed and they'll be fined for the time and labor involved. It was removed about two weeks later.
This happened about 4 years ago. I did sit and think about where I would have a copy of this photo. I couldn't find it. That said, yes it was a homemade sign. Wooden post, speed limit said 15 and it was overall about half the size of a real DOT one.
Lots of neighborhoods have a nosy neighbor that always get into everyone's business or tries to police others. Grateful I no longer have to deal with someone like that. If you've never dealt with someone like that, I hope you never have to.
SovCits have field days with pretty much any rule they don’t like. They’re prime examples of why we need to be removing warning labels on everything; they’re an end result of far too little chlorine in the gene pool.

My Daddy was a man of letters
My Mama was a head of state
And when they got their chromosomes together
They gave me all of their recessive traits
I'm an embarrassment to evolution
My disposition is unstable and cruel
My blood's a catastrophic blend
'Cause I'm from the shallow end of the gene pool
My IQ is a negative number
I've got a sense of humor no one can stand
And my development was seriously encumbered
By playing music with the Lounge Lizards band
I'm a social director's nightmare
At dinner parties I just babble and drool
It's not easy making friends
When you're from the shallow end of the gene pool
Chorus:
I'm from the shallow end of the gene pool
My x-rays make the doctors laugh
When they tried to chart my EEG waves
Well I wasn't even on the graph
Biological research is booming
They're making breakthroughs like you wouldn't believe
They say genetic engineering in humans
Will someday soon be a reality
I'm gonna get me a DNA transplant
They're gonna rearrange my molecules
Some natural laws will have to bend
To get me from the shallow end of the gene pool
I read something about this recently but I can’t remember where or find the article at the moment.
These are sometimes installed at high-risk intersections. At these locations, it is thought that people become accustomed to seeing ordinary stop signs, fail to notice them, and fail to stop.
The idea is that drivers unconsciously notice something is different and so these signs gain attention, hopefully restoring the original purpose of the sign.
Aren't signs like these out up by a private entity, like an HOA? I think the law is that a public and legally enforceable sign is all caps and these are legally distinct enough that they can't be confused for public signs (hence the lack of capitalization) but still communicate the intent.
These signs are also unenforceable so you're free to disrespect them if that's how you feel.
I think it's the serif font, more than the lack of capitalization, that weirds me out.
Imagine if it was a handwriting font? “Live, Laugh, Stop”
stop...

Reminds me of that designing a stop sign video.

The only stop sign where rolling through real slow is probably fine

How do you presume to know what legal jurisdiction this sign is in?
Are you for real? Was it a homemade sign? Share a pic if you have one. Just super curious

Well sounds like one strange neighbor lol

no,stopin a timid voice "staaahp" 😩
stopsobs (quietly) "please..."
I think this is a Chik-Fil-A parking lot stop sign—the branding is spot on.
EDIT: Actually, I think I recognize the surroundings, too. This is the Chick-Fil-A off Hobbs Rd in Huntsville, Alabama: https://maps.app.goo.gl/fod76mqmB7sNhEqE7

You did good, PipedLinkBot just did better.
Why did PipedLinkBot think Google Maps was a YouTube video?

it somehow feels condescending.
stop.
Very passive request. Depends how I'm feeling that day
Well if the sign is gonna flirt with me...
Not only lowercase, but serifed as well.

submissive ass sign
This upsets me.
Those ones are optional

Iirc they're still treated as stop signs by insurance companies in the event of an accident
Nice try cop-watching-that-stop-sign.
And/Or HOA-lead-with-clipboard-of-violations
Stop….. you know… if you want to and stuff.
Cursed serif.
that's the future liberals want for our country
reminds me of signs in The Village from The Prisoner
It is! Someone made a freely available font file of it, too.
https://www.fontspace.com/village-font-f9456
Awesome! Gotta share this with my wife, an absolute nut for The Prisoner.
I love it.
It means it's just a recommendation.
My guess is that's more like in SQL: you can shout if you want to, but DBMSes also understand lowercase
I hate it.
stop
stop
I think this sometimes happens on private property. Not sure though.
Chick Fil A?
s-stop?
Senpai!
Sister-chan
This is unsettling
When my friend makes a funny joke I know everyone else will get mad at.
perhaps...
stoppit, you
stop...please 😥
More like mildly infuriating
