Google "reducing sign clutter" for the general principle.  Use of sat 
nav as an alternative I might have heard on the radio, or in a local 
paper.  However 
<https://www.driverknowledgetests.com/resources/what-is-signage-clutter-and-how-do-we-reduce-it/> 
is the only reference I can find to that, online, in a quick search.

I think, in practice, it why local councils often don't bother to fix 
AWOL and broken street name signs, even when told about them.
