Sorry, I'm getting a bit cynical regarding stuff on the internet.

50 km/h advisory speed?
Would have been way funnier with “caution, air traffic“ though
Fun fact: When I picked my wife up from a hospital in Germany, a nearby crossing had a sign “caution, air traffic during long phases of red”. Took me a while to realize its meaning: The hospital doesn’t have a helipad. When a helicopter approaches, they set all traffic lights to red and use the crossing as an improvised helipad … they said that in the least direct way imagineable.
Edit: Seems like I’ve seen the only instance of that sign in the entire of Germany. The crossing seemed a little small for a helipad, but then again, it’s probably big enough.
