Are there signs along the WDW roads that list the names of the Epcot Resorts?

Last night my Dad was asking me how come WDW doesn't have any signs along their roads that lists Epcot Resort names? Now I realize the closer you get to them there will be signs that say Boardwalk turn right and etc, but he means overhead signs or ones along the side that say the names of the resort. He claims if you never been to WDW before it would harder to find them, although I say if your smart enough to know they are located by Epcot then you know to turn where it says Epcot Resort Area. Unless I am wrong I thought when you come in through WDW along 192 and go up the ramp that says Epcot Resort Area there is a sign that says to turn right for the Epcot Resorts? Finally I know they have signs across property that specfically say how to find the Magic Kingdom Resort Area and others after it that list the names those resorts, so those are the signs he was wondering about.
 
When I was puttering around on Google Street View, I did a sign that lists all of the Epcot Area resorts separately. This sign is on World Drive (is that 192?) and comes before the off ramp to West Buena Vista Drive.

Thank you and yes that was the area of their roads I was referring to, because that sign along World Drive is there for those who enter WDW from 192.

My Dad must have been thinking of the entrance from exit 67 off I-4 because over there is an overhead sign that just says Epcot Resort Area next right, but don't have any signs like the one posted along World Drive listing the resorts.
 
I had to play with Google Maps to see if I could answer this question. The answer is yes and no. As you come off of 192 onto World Drive, there are over head signs and signs also on the side of the road that state Epcot Resort Area.

Once you get off of the on ramp onto E. Buena Vista, there is a sign that points to Swan & Dolphin, Yacht & Beach Club, and Fantasia Miniature Golf. If you turn to these resorts, this puts you on Epcot Resorts Blvd. Doesn't mention Epcot Resort Area like the other signs did. Next sign down the road is for Disney's Boardwalk.

The next sign after that points to DHS Guest Parking. Of course that's where Epcot Resorts Blvd. comes out (or enters depending on which way you're going:laughing:) There's no sign pointing to any of the Epcot Resorts.

Keep going up the road, next sign you'll see is for Carribean Beach, Typhoon Lagoon and Downtown Disney. So I guess once you get onto E. Buena Vista, you'll have to keep an eye out for the name of the resort you're looking for. Hope this helped.
 

Again from Google Street View, when driving down Epcot Center Drive from I-4, you first come across a big sign over the road that says "Epcot Resort Area" second right. Then just before that right there is a side road sign that lists the resorts.
