It sounds like a good idea to me.

You could put up a huge number of signs and maintain them for what one SAR costs.

If they average 80 per year in that area, they could be spending probably 1/4 that many millions a year depending on how may choppers and other sophisticated equipment is used as well as how many men.

Exactly! And I'm sure those signs are operated remotely by computer. The one on my road was at the entrance to the road, and anyone not familiar with the area would have probably gone down the block to the truck stop/travel center (open 24/7) for alternate directions. I'm not saying we have to pamper motorists by having signs everywhere, but for a road that is misleading on maps and computerized mapping services, it would sure save on SAR ops.
