Perhaps you are right - but please, can you give me an example?
I cannot imagine why there should be a stop sign without intersection.
I'll try to get you an example, but first you have to precisely define
"intersection" using words like "way", "node", "highway", "barrier",
"traffic_calming", etc.
I know stop signs (these octagonal red traffic signs with text telling
"stop" inside - in any language perhaps) at intersecions only.
An intersection for me is a "point" in space where more streets join
together, so that you have a choice where to go next even without
turning around and going back.
In OSM terms an intersection would be a node shared by three or more way
segments (meaning: parts of ways). Each of these ways is tagged as
highway=* describing a street or way (in non-osm term meaning). There
can be a way tagged as railway=* also, I think.
Barrier and traffic_calming can be near to an intersection, but have
nothing to do with a stop sign.
To regulate the right of way at traffic calmings/barriers where only one
vehicle can pass at once, I know this sign:

vice versa)
