You should not be on a mup on a weekend with the impression you have a right to go 20 for an hour without interruption. They're not in your way because it's their way too. But there's not a lot of point to signaling when most of them won't notice and some of them will turn toward you looking over their shoulders. If you need them to notice, slow down and signal until they do.
On the plus side when you're on a MUP you don't need to account for snowboarders who think the right of way for the person in front includes sitting down in the middle of the trail....for an hour.
