I do understand someone has made this stop sign idea. But thinking about it, it does seem interesting in a sense? My idea is a Stop Sign that cannot be used like a Minecraft sword and has its own unique attack. I think this items requires good timing and strategy to use without it being a copy and paste Minecraft sword.
The stop sign is an item that can be crafted. The pole, and stop sign separately where the stop sign can be combined in the player's crafting inventory. However I am unsure how the crafting would go. Perhaps items related to iron blocks, or iron ingots and red dye and white dye?
It's way of attack is a chargeable bar where if charged to 100% will instantly kill any player who does not have a helmet if hit. When being charged, it will have an animation where the player raises the stop sign until it is above their heads, where the stop sign will slash downwards. It takes 2-3 seconds to fully charge this attack. Maybe the instant kill (without helmets) only applies to players who are vampires and human players, when using the stop sign only deal a lot of damage. Though the amount of damage specifically is uncertain and I'll leave it up to your imagination because with what I'm going to say may or may not be overpowered.
When hit, I have two ideas. If the player getting hit survives because they have a helmet, the stop sign will apply a 2 second effect where the player cannot move/attack or the player movement will be inverted/shifted due to the stop sign hitting the player's head. However the stop sign is block-able via stand block. But this will give the attacker to add in an additional attack.
The range of the stop sign attack will be a 2-3 or maybe 4 block vertical radius. If the hit is successful, the stop sign will become bent. The bent stop sign deals less damage and is no longer an instant kill. The sign can be fixed by Crazy Diamond, or repaired by crafting another stop sign panel to replace the broken panel.

If stand throwing is ever added in the future. Perhaps the broken stop sign can be used as a pusdo-javelin where humanoid stands like Magicians Red, The World, Star Platinum or Crazy Diamond can throw them? Or maybe the stands actually use the stop sign to chop downwards instead of the player using it themselves?
I don't know if this idea is good. Perhaps other people may see it as redundant and adding too many unnecessary things because a character used it therefore it should be in the mod?

Maybe also add it as a placeable item/block for decoration. I think it would be cool if you could pick it up from the world as part of an attack setup but maybe im overdoing it. I also think the idea is interesting.
