This could conflict with a trend that I believe is developing, at

What evidence have you of this "trend"?
I too, would like to hear of evidence of this 'trend'.
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. \
That is a personal opinion...
v.s. government link to a 3.1Mb pdf below..
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/reducing-sign-clutter
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.
None of these are for the total removal of signs .. but for the removal
of unnecessary signs.
