I put it down as a resolution issue when reading the signs from a distance.

The lower case letters are about 1/2 the size of the CAPITAL letters and are easier to resolve from a further distance.

Move back from your monitor and see which version can be seen from further away.

When you are close, word recognition makes sense, but I like to read my road signs from as far away as possible... saves wear and tear on the tires (tyres) doing a last minute screeching turn...
