   My first guess would be that there is hidden residence(s) down that road and   
   the sign is to show emergency vehicles where to turn if they are trying to   
   get access.   
      
   A less likely second guess could be that a volunteer fireman is down that   
   road and the sign is to warn you that an emergency vehicle could come out to   
   the main road there.   
      
   Can't explain the wrecks, though.
