So do you think the roads would be, overall, safer, if all signs
(say except direction signs) and lining schemes were removed?

Probably depends on the location. Some roads have been made safer by
doing just that. Certianly the experience where roads have been
treated with lots of paint and signage has often been that drivers
simply speed up and the crash rate remains unchanged.

Hmm, bit of a weasel answer, that one. I suspect when put on the spot you'd
find reasons for keeping most of the signs - those round white ones with a
red border and black numbers on them in particular ;-)
