Because of how sharp "Dead Man's Curve" is for I-90 traffic, several warning signs appear along I-90 West  in the mile preceding the OH 2 interchange in downtown Cleveland to get motorists to slow to the advisory speed of 35 m.p.h.  This includes the left-side, overhead warning sign shown here, located about 0.25 mile in advance of the curve.
