Street signs in Lisbon made me question every standard I ever followed

I was in Lisbon last month and the azulejo tiles on the street name signs caught my eye. They are hand painted, slightly uneven, and each one looks like a tiny piece of art instead of a uniform metal plate. Everyone I talked to there said they love them, but I think they are actually hard to read from a moving car. The old style looks great in photos, but the practical side of signage gets lost. Has anyone else seen a city where the charm of the design hurts how well it works in real traffic?
