Another thing is, the jury doesn't pay any attention when the judge charges them. The fact that the subsequent placing of signs isn't in the evidence doesn't matter a bit if they heard it anyway. Consider this scenario:

lawyer 1: so Mr. State Worker, when you later placed those signs warning of pigs crossing, isn't that an admission that you knew that this was a danger to the public?

lawyer 2: Objection! Rule 407, subsequent remedial measures...

judge: sustained

lawyer 1: apologies, your honor...

Its not in evidence, but the jury heard it anyway, and will probably take it into consideration.

yeah, the ol’ Matlock method. Works every time it’s tried. :)
