    I’d prefer the need to look for the sign instead of hoping nobody ripped it off.

      Why would it really matter as long as you can see that it’s obviously safe to do so?

        Because more information is better than less.

      hoping somebody ripped it off? Of what? A tree? Those signs are literally huge. What next you cant get through a stoplight if it has no power because it has no clear signalling?

        Those signs are the size of an A4 paper in Germany. Stop assuming everything has the same size as stuff in the US…

          you’re driving through america expecting the signs to be the size that they are in germany? That seems weird.
