There are some tank crossing road signs near Farnborough, they're quite entertaining and I don't remember seeing them in the Highway Code! Kind of related - Telford has an abundance of traffic islands with only two exits - one on, one off. You might think it was a clever bit of forward planning but most of them have been there for well over 10 years and there's still no new development in sight.

I suppose there is a hospital reasonably close. The next most odd thing is the football goals on the land that you're not to trespass on. I still love the sign though!

Or just randomly in the middle of what looks like a housing estate? I also fail to see the need for the "...prosecuted" bit at the end - I mean if an air ambulance or whatever needs to land I'm sure people can get off their fat arses and move. Unless.... they mean it is a landing area to be used for helicopters suffering from an emergency - gliding down... virtually silently... in which case I'd understand better the need to keep it clear... but anyway, you're quite right, it is a rather strange sign...
