Second, if you cannot see far enough ahead of your vehicle to be able to stop if there is something in the road you are traveling too fast. This is common sense and old drivers manual stuff.

The guy who put it there had this incentive- His wife was driving that road which is popular with cyclists when she came around a bend to find three riders abreast in her lane. In avoiding them, she went off the road and rolled her car. I don't believe the creator of this 'artwork' is out looking for cyclists to run over, but wants the riders of that road to understand sharing and that what we do does have risk, even when we're out there with caring drivers.
