Yep. There are four of them on my normal MUP ride. Only one allows a straight-thru, the other three require two 90 degree turns to get into and out of. Had the misfortune of crossing one a few days back following someone I had caught, as a group ride was hitting it in the other direction, it was a mess trying to get the bikes moving opposite directions through it. Thankfully most of the other group realized this and just rode around it.
Also doesn't help when someone slams on the brakes in one lane to let you through, and are sitting there with mad people behind them as the other lane continues streaming past.

Meh, I routinely ignore the STOP signs on trails intersecting roads. What I never do is to ignore evaluating traffic before choosing to ignore the sign. There are a few intersections crossing roads with horribly timed traffic, that if I stop instead of taking a safe gap without stopping, I'll be standing for three minutes waiting for the next one during rush hour.
