Your first paragraph. That's pretty much true of many people. Your second paragraph-- while it would work, it could also take you out of the way considerably.

The signs are not there for the people that are there everyday, but as I said the newcomers and that's why they need to be clear.

I was once in Boston and was looking for Commonwealth Avenue. I was on a street that I thought was Commonwealth but drove a mile without seeing a single sign for it. So I pulled over and asked someone. He told me that it was Commonwealth. So I asked him why there was a sign every block for all the little streets but none for Commonwealth? He said that no signs were necessary for such a main street because everyone knew it was Commonwealth. It was the little streets they needed the signs for.

Interesting philosophy. Signs only for the locals. Guess tourists didn't matter to them.
