However, in today's sue-happy world, there are a lot of warning signs that
'common sense' says are ridiculous.

Seen the sign that says, "Rumble Strips Ahead?"  These are placed to warn
you of the rumble strips that are to warn you of some fixed road hazard.
The signs are useless-- a non-alert driver will not notice the signs, and
the rumble strips will do their jobs.  An alert driver will see the other
signs describing the hazard (ie 'sharp curves ahead'), and won't need
either the sign or the rumble strips.
