Weird highway warning signs

I’ve seen a ton of these around Shenandoah NP with Google directing everyone to use long-closed fire roads.

I took a picture of the "no snowmobiles" out on a jog to share with friends back in Texas. The 30 miles of winding road is an understatement. The last 2 were on jogging/bike trails and thought both were pretty funny.

Several of these were taken when I was out jogging. The no stopping for inmates was like mile 8 into a 12 mile run that was going to end up being a 16 mile run unless I kept running straight. I kept running straight and waved as I ran by the inmates.
The sign at the church might be a little hard to read, it says "Valley Bible Fellowship, Loving the Hell out of People". Thought that was funny.
I'm not exactly sure what Earth Fissures are. Googling it seems like just cracks in the road. It was also on a sketchy area outside of a small town I was working at and I could hear the banjo music playing as I jogged by.
Taxicab sign isn't a highway sign but thought it was evidently there based on past experience. When I searched for "sign" on my phone it showed up so I thought I would include it.

I remember one hunting season when the local news ran a piece that had the Pennsylvania game commission telling people those road signs were a valuable scouting tool and that setting up near the signs in rifle season could lead to a deer harvest.
We already have enough road hunters and all they were doing was teaching them better places to drive.

Not my pic, just think it's funny. Anyone know where this is? I think I remember hearing it was somewhere in WY.

Why is the warning sign only on one end of the road it seems like? I guess if I would have know maybe I wouldn't have driven there. With enough effort you can always make it through no matter how narrow or rough it gets. Roads looked perfectly fine to me

Last fall we were exploring new country hunting elk SW of Dillon and came upon a similar USFS sign. I peered into the abyss below. "Well, Mike, I think we're okay. I see a ranch house or something way off south and I reckon the hwy isn't much further." Inched the Jimmy down that 100% grade in low transfer case and across a nasty creek ford at the bottom only to be confronted with a locked gate. Shit! I mean, we are way out in the middle of nowhere and my brother is diabetic. He's not walking out of here! Some snow was on the ground and no chains in the outfit. If I didn't make it on the first attempt there was almost no chance of backing down without losing control and flipping over ... multiple times! I think because the Jimmy was lightweight and low centered is the only reason I made it back up the grade. At the top I stopped to clean my pants and glass the hills. Then I noticed a separate "No Through Road" sign on a post some asshole had purposely run over and knocked down.

Where else but in Missoula would you find this?

I have eyed many nice straight sections of highway from the air. Thankfully it hasn't been necessary.
