Warning Road Sign for Falling Rocks or Fallen Rocks

Why is it a warning sign?

You will be going along a stretch of road that either has fallen rocks than may be blocking the road, or on the road or an area susceptible to falling rocks.

Why is this a warning? Whether the rocks are large boulders blocking the road or much smaller rocks fallen on the road it would be very dangerous. Be aware that the rocks could be either large or small. Larger rocks should be obvious except perhaps after dark but smaller rocks could puncher your tyres and lead to an accident.

Hence it is a "warning sign" not a general information sign!

Care and extra observation required.
