I'm not sure how long it is, but California's Highway 1 along the Big Sur coast (a fairly well known, well loved road) has some equivalently lengthy (or longer) winding road signs I've seen. If anyone cares to Mapillary-sniff, I recall one near Carmel Highlands (near the "pink hotel?") and another further south, near McWay Falls or is it more near JFBSP? Esalen? Definitely seen some around there). Northbound you might have to look around Cambria, I don't often approach from that side (northbound). Long, sinuous roads do happen and are sometimes even signed. I think that despite how famous this drive is (about as well-driven as Yosemite National Park in summer), you don't want to be in a 12-meter motorhome on this road and not know what the next 200 kilometers are going to be like (windy and very few places to pull over or park such a behemoth). Still, such "big traffic" (giant Recreational Vehicles) do make this trek. Such a sign might make someone think twice and I think that's part of the reason Caltrans erects them. And nobody likes getting stuck behind a slow, giant RV.

I'd tend to say "railroad," US English being my mother tongue, "railroad" for "railway" being a US English dialect marker. Like holding up three fingers in a certain way. Or Ex-Wye-Zed vs. Ex-Wye-Zee. It's a big world. Lots of long, straight roads, lots of long, windy roads.
