The main bicycle route from close to my house to a dedicated bike trail has more than 2 dozen signs between those mounted on posts and those painted in the lanes. It used to have a lot of stupid aggressive people in cars, driving back roads like it was their own personal racetrack. The city added the obnoxious level of signage to help because a lot of riders just stayed on the local highway. I didn’t ride the highway unless I had a reason. I had to go to the bank to deposit a check 2/26/14 and was riding down the hill to get to the trail when an idiot made a uturn into another car and very nearly killed me and left me partially disabled, unable to hold posture for very long. They added the signage around a year after my crash. There used to be 3 barely visible signs on that stretch.
