Beware of Falling Rocks - WTH
I've traveled quite a bit through the mountains the past few years and often pause to consider exactly what the "Beware of Falling Rocks" actually means. I assume that rocks occasionally break away...

I think you have way to much time on your hands.
I always believed "Beware of Falling Rocks" was pretty self explanatory. :R
But then again, if traveling in PA, there is a danger of falling rocks originating from people throwing them from highway overpasses as a poor woman from Ohio tragically was hit by.
That doesn't happen just in PA..
My brother had moved TO Ohio, was there not even a week and lost a windshield due to a rock someone had nicely tossed off the bridge he went under..
But back to the subject at hand, signs like that are often placed in WELL KNOWN areas for rocks coming down hill sides.. Typically places that have had repeated falling rock events..
More than once there HAS been boulders the size of a bus or larger fall on the road on Route 28 between Harmer and Pittsburgh off the bluffs above the road. Makes for a real traffic mess when that happens.
It was even worse while back in Edmonton when some punks tossed heavy rock from overpass at night and killed a bus driver,,
Took the cops a long while but they did catch the culprits eventualy,,some young school kids stupid prank..
