My route file:

<?php

namespace App\Providers;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Support\Providers\RouteServiceProvider as ServiceProvider;


class RouteServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    /**
     * This namespace is applied to your controller routes.
     *
     * In addition, it is set as the URL generator's root namespace.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $namespace = 'App\Http\Controllers';

    /**
     * Define your route model bindings, pattern filters, etc.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function boot()
    {
        //

        parent::boot();
    }

    /**
     * Define the routes for the application.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function map()
    {
        $this->mapApiRoutes();

        $this->mapWebRoutes();

        //
    }

    /**
     * Define the "web" routes for the application.
     *
     * These routes all receive session state, CSRF protection, etc.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    protected function mapWebRoutes()
    {
       Route::middleware('web')
             ->namespace($this->namespace)
             ->group(base_path('routes/web.php'));


        Route::post('/signup',[
            'uses'=>'UserController@postSignUp',
            'as'=>'signup'
        ]);



    }

    /**
     * Define the "api" routes for the application.
     *
     * These routes are typically stateless.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    protected function mapApiRoutes()
    {
        Route::prefix('api')
             ->middleware('api')
             ->namespace($this->namespace)
             ->group(base_path('routes/api.php'));
    }
}

Answer 1

You use invalid namespace. Instead of:

namespace app\Http\Controllers;

in your UserController you should use:

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

Answer 2

 namespace App\Http\Controllers;
 use Illuminate\Http\Request; 

Use namespace like that and try command php artisan route:cache

and php artisan route:clear
