This is what happens in Munich.
There are anouncements on the train to alight from the
correct (by name) side. Regular travellers don't do it
wrong twice though, if you do get off the wrong side you
find yourself stuck on a platform with only down escalators
and no obvious way to get to another level (there are some
stairs but there are no signs to them)

That way people will manage to get off the correct side.

hopefully

At risk of a certain degree of national stereotyping, are people in
Munich more likely to follow the instructions than people in London
would be?

You are joking?

How many nationalities do you know that will happily stand by
the side of an empty road, because there's a little lit-up picture
of a man telling them to do so?
