    Is there such a thing in the US?

    Yeah.

    1. Whatever the heck I want, because "ma freedom"
    2. Police officer's hand signs
    3. Traffic lights
    4. Signs on a pole
    5. Signs painted on the road

    in Europe, we have a hierarchy

    This is definitely not true for all of Europe. In Germany, for instance, signs on roads have equal precedence to signs on poles.

    Here in Finland we just wait for snow, then you can't see the painted one.

    Which is why it was such a great idea to replace our solid "you can't pass here" lines from their old bright yellow to EU matching white so that that self driving cars understand them correctly. So now during the winter both of us and the machines can't see them equally well.

    That’s the neat part: They don’t. At least I have never seen confusing signage/markings.

    Lately the trend is for temporary signs to have yellow background instead of white. So if you see road construction you'll see a yellow background sign.
