Road signs wtf

It's to do with the blame and liability culture. I've seen some of these signs on the likes of the High Peak Trail where there is a "tricky" bit. Not tricky for us, but possibly for a first timer who has just hired a bike.
No sign could render the trail management liable in the event of an accident.
I tend not to dismount, but always feel awkward as though I'm some sort of awkward citizen

I@ can think of 2 locations near here where the sign actually makes sense.
1. crossing the locks on the ship canal.
2. crossing the train tracks
actual 3. there is one on a really iffy bend that drops under a bridge on the trans penine trail. it's there because someone with less than good bike control and a lack of intelligence hit someone taking the corner to sharp at speed. really a sign saying "go ******* slow you numpty" would suffice, but we get what we get.
the next corner along is called cowards corner and it has a blue plaque.

that has nothing to do with the hill and everything to do with the local population.
(that road was cobbled when the sign was put up).
