Watch out for falling satellites?

That new warning from NASA is fairly consistent with that other useless but discombobulating warning sign you frequently encounter on the roads all over the world:

You mean "Falling rocks"? Of course, not in Texas, it's too flat for these ;)

The agricultural parts of California have "Low-flying aircraft" signs. I always wonder what the driver is supposed to do about it. Refrain from freaking out if the crop-duster just misses you by about three feet?
