This sort of thing really annoys me and seems to be happening more and more
these days. 

All too often, one sees lane closure signs on motorways (M11 is quite bad
for this) that create a huge tailback. You join the tailback. You get to the
front and - LO! - no bloody lane closure at all - just a wind up!

Worse than this are the signs that announce a closure of the left-hand
lane when the closure is actually of the right hand lane.

All these things lead one to distrust the signs on principle which makes 
things all the more dangerous when there is a real hazzard.
