I guess it depends on the context. You might say "turn South on I-280,
then follow the signs to the Winchester Mystery House." I think when
talking ABOUT the signs, they're just "signs", but when refering to the signs,
they're "roadsigns". So you might say "my, the roadsigns around here sure
are confusing", but "I didn't have any trouble following the signs to
get to your house."
