I have always thought there were too many signs and too much reliance on people following them. This stuff is very interesting.

Don't enforce speed limits? The is the only traffic law I have ever even seen enforced regularly. You don't need to use signals or stop on red or even stay in your lane for the cops to leave you alone.
EDIT - Oh, maybe you mean how they allow people to drive 5-10mph over the limit all the time. I still think speeding is one of the least dangerous things on the road, to a point. Someone who is speeding and paying attention would make me feel way safer than a driver who is below the limit but not paying attention.
