Can think of a number of local roads which should have signs Beware of overtaking tortoises!

That reads like a corporate message to the inmates, encouraging them to stop the hitchhikers escaping.

Although this one is on private property, on a gated access to a WW2 USAAF memorial chapel, a sign states 'No cycling'.
So, you can walk or drive a car along the access road to the chapel, but you can't ride your bike - !
Hmm.

Am not going to tell you how long I tried to deduce a location from your photo before noticing the "maps" link. Doh!

This one is quite local to me, the "&" was only added a couple of years ago, who knew you could be cremated but keep fit at the same place.

am pretty sure I know a certain northern town where a doctors, a pharmacy and a funeral directors are all next door to each other. Exemplary planning control.

Anyone acquainted with a place known as the Hurlet will have noticed the new crematorium going up next to the new funeral parlour, which is just over the road from the old folks home.

Certainly reducing their carbon footprint.
