It's okay, more signs is good because it means:
1) The council can't be sued for failing to warn the driver of the crap roadsurface (rather than just fixing it) etc, and
2) technology is on the way to solve lack of observation with image recognition cameras that will start popping up warnings in car of hazard signs.
Besides, we can always lower speed limits further if accident stats don't improve - that'll help people, right?
