Aren't the street signs owned and maintained by the county?

After reading this post, drove from my house in Silver Lake, over the bridge, through Spanish Springs Town Square , down Main St, down Del Mar to Rio Grande and up Rio Grande to Avenida Central and through a couple of villages while paying attention to the street signs. I didn't see one that look bad. They all look fine to me.
Where are these signs that you'r talking about?

She (op) must work for Top of the World. I don't see any either. What a headline. Our collective homes all went down in value.

What I put on my survey was street signs should be staggered so one could see to side street sign, to ensure making a proper turn.

I don't have a specific area I'm taking about as they are too many all over TV.

That's what I think. Road maintenance, including street signs, belong to the respective county government.
