I wish they'd make up their minds how many signs can fit on one pavement, and how far away a warning sign should be.

There's a miniroundabout on the corner of our block. The sign warning of the miniroundabout is 15ft from it. Stopping distance, even at 20mph (the road is 30mph) is considerably longer than 15ft.

I frequently miss turnings because the roadsign directing me to take the turnoff is obscured by another road sign telling me to go straight on - a distance of about 6ft between them, which, at 40mph or more, is not enough space to be able to read the sign properly.

Personally, I like the 'Highways Agency' signs. They let you know precisely who is to blame for the appaling state of some of our roads. Too often signage and surface conditions are subject to arguments between various councils, departments and agencies - meaning the problems never get resolved because no-one knows who actually deals with it.

But I do agree, they could be better placed or coloured differently so you don't have to read them. I'd suggest purple.
