There is a school of thought in traffic design that is saying remove signs, create a 'question' in the drivers mind so that they are more aware of their surroundings and actually look at traffic conditions to determine how to best proceed.
It seems counter-intuitive, but where it has been put in place, drivers seem to use their brains instead of putting it on cruice control.
I should see if I can find the link.
