I think this is just lawyers run amok - a not unusual situation. Unless the bit about the binoculars is true . . . Thanks for reading and commenting, and trying to enlighten me.

However, at the end of Lake St. in Arcadia, MI there used to be a sign that simply said "Road Ends", and beyond, a beautiful view of Lake Michigan. Also, on the internet was a sign that stated " This sign has sharp edges, please use caution when reading this sign!" and in small print "Bridge is out". But could it be that someone thought it terribly witty ( and humorously redundant ) to put up a sidewalk ends sign, exactly where the sidewalk ends? I would be willing to bet that the culprit returns to the scene every day, or perhaps watches through binoculars . . .
