Fascinating.  It looks like the Sealed Corridor application (in this case, soft bollards down the middle stripes with standard flashing light signals and gates) also included these signs as a reminder to folks that have already cleared the crossing not to stop downstream of the crossing such that a car could get trapped on the railroad.  Or otherwise, you might need to [stop, look and listen] for those invisible trains on those invisible tracks with invisible gates.

^ I meant to reference the circular warning signs (W10-1) with the No Train Horn plaques.  It's standard practice in Illinois to try to have as many 'Do Not Stop On Tracks' signs as possible at a crossing, even if they start blocking other important devices and/or leading to an overload of signing.  A great example is Euclid Avenue at the UP Northwest Line in Arlington Heights (good luck seeing the arrow indications on the pre-signal).
