We're lucky enough (at least, until urban sprawl takes it away) to have some really nice rural routes around here.
But I've come to some 4-way intersections where you'll have two stop signs, and I can tell you with absolute certainty that it's incredibly dangerous for cyclists to STOP at those signs.
Cars and trucks travelling along the crossroad are usually going in excess of the speed limit, often times where there's a hill so you can't see them coming. A cyclist coming off a full stop may not clear the intersection safely.
