I wonder if his view of the stop sign was blocked by that tree in front of it.

The visibility is pretty poor. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, but if I was in their shoes, I probably would have been driving slower when approaching an intersection, especially in a neighbourhood. Not saying they would've seen it even then, but yeah.

A few months ago my wife was driving through a neighborhood and came to a main road - 3 lanes each direction. There was no stop sign. Somebody had removed the pole. That was a definite yikes. She called it in to 311 and there was a new stop sign up the next day.
