On the contrary. I map the facts. Occasionally, signage diverges from those facts. > In .nl it is common to place warning signs for cyclists and pedestrians when > a piece of road leads only to a motorway.

So where you have two on-the-ground facts at odds with each other like this, you need to make a judgement, as you do, for instance, when the street name signs at either end of the street differ in spelling.
