The author most likely includes the detail about the stop sign to highlight that Mooreland is a small and quiet town. The mention of a single four-way stop sign suggests a lack of complexity and a slower pace of life, which is characteristic of small towns.
Read the excerpt from A Girl Named Zippy.
There was one main street, Broad Street, which was actually not so broad, and was the site of the town's only four-way stop sign.
Why does the author most likely include the detail about the stop sign?
to show that the story’s events take place in the past
to better explain where Broad Street is located
to highlight that Mooreland is a small and quiet town
to tell about the types of transportation in Mooreland
