A visit from the critique club :)
After looking at the photo for a while there's a lot of little oddities that come to mind. First, the technical aspect of the photo. Composition is good but the sign is a little "too close" to the edge. I think you could shift the sign a tiny bit over to the right. The other thing I notice is the jaggies in the diagonal lines. Perhaps you oversharpened the photo a bit.
Now for the artistic quality. I think this photo has some bittersweet irony in it. The road looks desolate but people have been killed :(
The other thing I don't understand is the three crosses vs. 2 fatalities. Do all the roads have one of these signs?
And no, I hope I'm not next!

I hope I am not the next. You know it is bad when they have a sign counting fatalities on the raod. I think that means to NOT drive on it ;) jgillard8

Nice shot, my only criticism is the bluring aroud the edges.

This would make me slow down and think! Nice shot, and the Blue sign against the Blue sky goes nicely together.

These signs always give me the shivers! Is this Australia by any chance? Nice photo, I like it.

that's a really gruesome sign. i think this would look cool if you desaturated all the color channels except blue to give it a more dead feeling

Lol, dangerous road. Wow, that's pretty bad that there's that many fatalities on the road that they've decided to dedicate a sign to it.

I would have done it closer to the road , looking down the road to where the deaths may have occurred.

Nice composition. The trees are a little blurry, but I suspect this might be from a long exposure and wind combined - not much you can do about that. Perhaps a clearer sky would be nicer, but it's not a big deal. Colour is nice and realistic

Are they psychic or something? Or are they just too stupid and can't count? This takes the cake, for me. It's a 10 for stupidity. Also a great photo. Good composition with good execution.

Well, that's depressing!!! Is this Australia? I saw signs like this there when I visited - nowhere else, though!!

that is kind of ominous....like they're predicting a third one.
what if a jewish person gets wiped out on the road? will they tag a star of david up there?
