That usually means there is enough through traffic and/or a high enough road speed to justify that warning to vehicles. Given a choice, most people would rather not have that in their front yard where their kids and dogs should be.

Agreed!

I even like my roads windy with many curve warnings (thus to slow down), and people have to cross many one lane bridges before accessing to my part of road(s) that look like a one laner.
