I would suggest enforcing the state law that requires drivers to yield to pedestrians and cyclists in crosswalks. Possibly a police sting. I would think if a driver with a cdl got cited it would be a big deal to that person and the other workers may hear about it and follow the law.
There are a large number of elderly and very slow/ social riders in this area. The home made stop sign may cause them to stop, but they may not get up to speed in time to clear the intersection. I feel the stop signs send a message to drivers to drive faster and not be as careful.
