The radio just had a story that indicates why we end up with so many ignored signs:

Apparently after the age of 80, the ratio of failure to yield accidents goes up tremendously, so the authors of the study recommend creating more left-turn only lanes and roundabout intersections. Apparently, rather than just telling people they can't drive any more we instead have to design and sign roads to accommodate all incompetencies and frailties.
