This reminds me of the sign, Man opening Umbrella we all used to see.

It was supposed to depeict a person digging a pile of sand or something.

Yes but I;d have thought any drive would be watching the road to see if anyhting in front of him need avioding actual whether rocks that have fell or cars in front.

What people might not know is that rocks could still be falling.

Then again falling could be some sort of word do indicate the onset of autumn. ;-)

But you can't avoid falling rocks, so there's no point in telling you about them, unless you want to turn back and not drive along that road?

My cousin referred to it as "man wrestling with umbrella".

The woman who designed those admits it looked daft, on an episode of Top Gear. Margaret Calvert - she also pioneered using lower case Ariel font on road signs, making them so much easier to read than say French roadsigns which are still all in capitals.

Apologies for the video clip I'm posting, I know you can't see it: https://youtu.be/pyBrrmDw6-k

If the rock isn't falling there's no need for the sign. If the rock is falling, you're too busy looking at the sign. Hint - our eyes pick up moving objects more easily than still ones.

I've never seen a sign that says rock falling when there is no possibility of rocks falling.You corect I;ve never seen one in the supermarket have you seen a sign saying rocks falling in a supermarket ?
Have you seen a sign saying beware or bears in your local supermarket.
Have you seen a sign that says beware of the haggis.
Now try thinking about why you haven't seen these signs.

Only if yuo're an idiot maybe that is the key point here.

How do eyes pick up objects, I use my hands to pick up objects which can include rocks.
