For some rules themselves are enough, I know many people that follow no smoking signs or no guns past certain area as examples, but I also know of many that ignore the no smoking signs due to lack of enforcement, and still conceal carry in places with signs that state the otherwise. Hell I know of people that drive without insurance. It is all about risk tolerance, and often consequences or likelihood of getting caught play into that risk tolerance equation.
Overall I guess you have more faith in humanity, personal I think if punishment was not a thing many people would ignore most if not all laws that have no personal impact on their own life.
