Controlled signage is always the standard in “upscale” communities.. Go shopping in Naples….Sarasota….better have a good GPS just to find your local Publix.
And that’s the solution here. Vistors, snowbirds, residents all need to know how to use the GPS apps when navigating someplace new.
If you don’t really know where you are going a last minute sign won’t help
100% correct. Signage is "low brow". The best country clubs in the world, sometimes don't even mark "Hole Numbers". "Those in the know, don't need signs". False exclusivity, but it's a trend.

If there's one bit of signage I think TV could implement, that would be huge ... are signs that point out, Automobiles have the Right of Way. It drives me batty, anytime I car stops on the road, to let me pass across ... No Way! I'm not going to get myself hit by a car, when I'm in a golf cart. Just keep on driving if you have the right of way.
