They aren't kidding, either, as there's often humus covering the path. Just after this is a hairpin 180 degree turn followed by another hairpin 180 degree right turn.

The signs are very visible, and especially useful at night when it's hard to see. I like them

The sign is good, the hairpin turns are not so good. I tend to use multi-user trails when riding with my kids, and it is difficult to make the hairpin turns with either a trail-a-bike or a tandem. We usually have had to dismount, walk, and then remount - difficult to do on a hill with a tandem and a stoker with puny kid legs.

I realize that sometimes topography is limited, but if it is at all possible to have facilities that don't have these types of turns, that would be best.
