Street Sign on Corner of The Street

On boulevard like Norodom or Monivong, we can see both traffic and street sign indicating its name, but there is never a street sign for Street No. 338 or 438 or whatever number. If a driver is not familiar with the street, he has to browse by driving around the area. Normally the number of these streets come in order.

This extract of Phnom Penh Street map indicates that the street number is somewhat jumbled
However, it does not apply to every street. Some order might be odd, even, or even jumbled but that is not the case since not everywhere is the same.

My suggestion is to place Street Sign on every corner of the street so that people know whether they should go straight, turn left, or turn right. We do have it, but it only exists on boulevard. It can be attached to a traffic sign, for example, in the picture shown below "Stop Sign". 

Somewhere near Olympic market
It could help save people time; and it also looks nice when we have standard street signs everywhere on the street.
