They shrug because they don't care about good signing.

You speak of California: There, descending freeway signs routinely give the next three exits and the distance to each. At the point of exit is a large overhead sign that provides the name of the road.

Here, we get one sign, no mileage and at the point of exit, a single, sad sign that says, "Exit." Thank you very much.

At traffic lights, many states have well-lighted overhead signs giving the intersecting streets. Here, more often than not, the intersection is dark, causing drivers to become lost, make sudden turns, waste fuel and add pollution. It's a shame.
