Probably just like on the airplanes when they make the announcements about emergency exits, no one (or very few) are listening, but let there be a need to follow those instructions they will be lost.

Two overhead signs are not enough. I like the idea of the seat doilies. Especially for the facing seats, it's right there in your face!
