my take is that she is familiar enough with the area that they know the only oncoming traffic would be to the left of the sign and the sightlines are good enough from the approach that they can surmise there is not an oncoming car. it does appear that the curve of the road beyond the sign would preclude a car from going head-on into traffic in her direction.
FWIW, the end of my street (a public road) has an odd angle where three other roadways enter, two of which are in the opposite direction. so, if you can see the oncoming traffic, many people don't bother stopping. it's quite a bit worse and much more dangerous than even this situation. not making your situation any better, but this is hardly unique behavior.
