Removing the hazard is far more effective than telling people not to touch it/walk into it/crash into it.
Over here, with wired fences on either side of freeway and a large cement barrier down the middle of 6 (or more) lanes, and a pedestrian bridge a short hop away, holes are cut into the fence and the cement barrier scaled.
Needless to say many impressions are left in windscreens.
A human being's desire to do what they do will never be stopped by a fence, nor any "solution to the problem". It will dissuade many, but not all.
If human behaviour could be solved there would be no accidents, you can only try, but those that like sticking warning labels on everything can attest to the futility.
