@danielbsmith I know. I tried several different orientations of signs above and around the track. The overhead method seemed to work best. A diagonal sign to the left or right would be too low to see, and if I place it higher it will be just as high as the overhead sign but even further forward, making it harder to see.
And, honestly, you can usually see the signs a lot better than in the video. Or, if you just look down at the track, you can tell which way you'll go.
If you can manage to put the switch on the ground next to the track (or elevated with the help of a little redstone dust), the switch will point either left or right. Then you don't need directions.
@bastawhiz Not necessarily. Although I tried vertical switches, there was no good place to put one where it was reachable and visible. Depending on the direction you're facing, you might also have to invert the signal to actually have its direction reflect correctly. In fact, I think if you're facing East-West the switch will default to forward-backward, not left-right. I prefer to keep my designs direction-neutral, mainly because I always get confused by the direction-specific stuff.
:O ... awesome :D

You can place signs diagonally on a block. Just stand diagonally to the block when you place them.
