Seriously, what on earth are you doing looking at your phone for a fucking stop sign.

That stop sign feature is relatively new. I had to glance at the phone (mounted to the dash) to know where to turn, and saw the new stop sign and was like "wtf". It's a steep hill that probably COULD use one, but in the moment I was afraid that I'd missed it. It didn't actually exist.

After that experience I learned to just ignore them all in Maps.

(Too late to edit my other response)

To be clear, I think the stop signs and stoplights in Google Maps are a total anti-feature, a distraction that should be disabled. As soon as I saw them I wanted to turn them off (you can't), especially after this experience. It's been months now and they are still wrong, and there's no way to submit feedback about a stop sign, and I'm sure Google doesn't care. Sigh.

Ironically, if anything gets me to switch to OSM, it'll be because Google self-sabotaged their service yet again. Maps peaked a few years ago and has been steadily getting more ads and clutter. And last week or so they rolled out a new color palette that makes it impossible to distinguish between the current navigation route and other alternative routes. It's really a safety hazard, sigh. Maybe time to seriously look at alternatives...

Yes, absolutely. When that feature first came out (showing stop signs), it caught me by surprise. I was going downhill in an area with poor visibility and I was alarmed that I missed a stop sign and braked. No accident, thankfully, but I never trusted Maps's stoplights and stop signs after that.

That's not a fair analyze.

You can notice a stop sign being displayed on a screen attached near or on the windshield at the corner of your sight when you are looking at the road.

I would imagine anyway. I don't drive much. I bike and take the train.
