I lived on a quiet street that became an optimized shortcut (no stop lights, fewest stop signs) for all the new-construction dwellers, most of whom had zero regard for speed limits.
It's not all sunshine and rainbows, but the benefits likely outweigh the drawbacks.
FWIW, the most the township would do is setup a radar trailer (zero enforcement) and new stop signs were not allowed for traffic control purposes. I never got them to add one for safety purposes either, even though a speeder clobbered a mailbox one house up from the school bus stop.

This is a great illustration of how we can address this by adding people but removing cars. Make the street narrower, remove parking, add transit, add bike infra, etc.
