I also think that with signage standards requiring signs to be placed on the driver's side of the highway (except where disadvantageous to do so), drivers shouldn't be required to obey signage that only appears on the other side of the road, facing other drivers.

Sounds like you should run for transportation minister
I think it comes down to common sense and I doubt people would want to fork the bill for two signs on either side. I think it's easy enough to read the sign on the opposite side when you are doing 30. With kids today I go slow near school zones anyway, far too many kids like jumping out into the road or playing in the road to chance it.
