So far, the only possibly helpful suggestion I have found online has been to add

What is the best way to correct GWT telling me I have mobile usability errors in Image directoriesposted in Technical SEO
In GWT, I wish to remove / resolve the following errors
- Mobile Usability > Viewport not configured
- Mobile Usability > Small font size
- Mobile Usability > Touch elements too close
The domain www.sandpiperbeacon.com is responsive, and passes the mobile usability test.
A new issue I noticed, is that GWT is reporting 200+ errors just for image index pages such as http://www.sandpiperbeacon.com/images/special-events/ for example.
Website users cannot access these pages (without editing the URL manually) so I don't consider these usability issues. BUT, I hate to see 200+ errors, especially when Google itself says "Websites with mobile usability issues will be demoted in mobile search results."
I could set the image directories to dissalow in Robots.txt, but I do not want the images to stop appearing in image search, so this seems like a flawed solution.
I cannot be the only person experiencing this, but I have been unable to find any suggestions online.
