> You can't enforce a speed limit by simply placing a speed sign and hoping everyone is going to magically follow them.

It's not flawless but sticking up signs has a reasonable effect. I'd say at least 50% of the people who drive on the local 20mph roads near me abide by the speed limit (that has not active enforcement) and this prevents quite a few others from speeding.

(I agree on the road design point though...)
