Threats Even here, on a gate that is likely to be only used by one farmer, there is a bossy wee notice defining our place in society.  
We are constatly controlled by threats - defined by avoiding punishment. With over 1000 new offences in the last 9 years, dodging them is an artform.
Keeping stock off a railway line is important, but the farmer surely knows this. If this were in Scotland, there would be an expensive big sign saying unauthorised persons are not to use the crossing, even when the entire population is authorised.
