Explanation:
In this context, I wouldn't use 'signage': Pool users should obey all warnings and advisories posted around the swimming pool.

I know I'm supposed to wait 24 hours, but I had to deliver this job, and Toby's answer (not signage) is the only one that worked for me. Thanks to everyone, though!

In response to your question: you could go with something like "instructions and information on the placards". Or "rules and information" or even "signs and information"/"signage and information" (which sound OK to me). Up to you!
