Is there anyone out there who can explain the mysterious stop sign at the top of Imperial Hill?

Cars line up at rush hour down the hill to crawl uphill, because of a stop sign where there is neither an intersection nor pedestrian crossing.

Does all the burning of fuel and driver-frustration really warrant a stop sign at this place? Perhaps there may be a better solution to the problem, which nobody seems to understand. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps?

Please Mr. traffic-engineer let us in on your learned secret for the justified need to have a thousand drivers stop at this location every time they come up Imperial Hill and perhaps give us an estimate of the associated cost of fuel and frustration by the puzzled drivers who feel too embarrassed to ask such a silly question.
