A variant of the diagrammatic drawing that was usual in Romania in the 1980s and 1990s, before the standadization of the current shape. This example is from Bucharest, on Pantelimon Roadway.
Sometimes half a sign is sufficient to convey the message. I made this photo from a distance as my car was being serviced at a local neighborhood auto repair shop. It was a cold and windy day making capturing this image difficult. I finally timed my shot well enough to read the No Trespassing message in English and Spanish. I shot this using the telephoto capacities of my Canon Powershot SX50.
A No Access to Motor Vehicles Road Sign in Oxford (UK).
A far more effective way to warn vehicles where they are not permitted unlike the signs at Duke Street overbridge in my home city of Chelmsford where the blue signs which have more or less the same meaning (with the exception of cycles) are routinely ignored in particular by private cars and the local take away delivery drivers.
The legal definition of signs with red circles are mostly prohibitive whereas signs with blue circles but no red border mostly give positive instruction.
Well spotted by David on his travels in North Essex (UK) and is posted here with kind permission.
Hmmm - I'm thinking this is a very dangerous area around our neighborhood church these days!
As seen while walking the dog in Tucson, Arizona.
When I got to work this morning there was a JCB mini excavator in the middle of the grounds.
It looked like great fun and I was itching for a go, but resisted the temptation.
I got a few different shots, but the one that made me giggle was this warning sticker on the front boom.
I'm not sure if it's advice on safely operating machinery, or offering sartorial guidance when operating in girls' schools!
The pier reached out into the River Forth where the navy puffers would unload / load their ammunition before taking it along the river to Roysth. At the end of the pier is an old crane. Rail tracks also came here from the storage buildings.

“I've gotta tell you in my loudest tones, that I started looking for a warning sign. When the truth is
I miss you…”
Warning Sign: Coldplay, Rush of Blood to the Head
This laid back track from Coldplay’s second album really speaks to so many of the emotions that run through me. The music pulls at my heart, and Chris’s voice just seems to beckon every vein in my body. When he sings the line “I miss you”- you feel his emotions. I love the end of the song how it fades into the piano solo- when his voice comes in, you get the feeling that the piano bits in the solo were his tears- the emotion in his voice the source.
When I hear this song I remember a time when I was alone in a darkened house full of memories I would rather forget. I think about the pain I felt and the hope I always had of escaping, and how this song gave me hope for doing just that. I had hard nights of high emotion and drama that always hit this huge zenith, and would then drown out in the night. This song is just like that.
*** Artist Notes ***
This shot originally had a white sign with which I was going to re-do through Photoshop, but that didn’t work as well as I wanted. I could have done better with the shading, but after a root canal today… well, I have no strength- only a lot of pain!
Lyrics:
A warning sign
I missed the good part, then I realized
I started looking and the bubble burst
I started looking for excuses
Come on in
I've gotta tell you what a state I'm in
I've gotta tell you in my loudest tones
That I started looking for a warning sign
When the truth is
I miss you
Yeah the truth is
That I miss you so
A warning sign
It came back to haunt me, and I realized
That you were an island and I passed you by
When you were an island to discover
Come on in
I've gotta tell you what a state I'm in
I've gotta tell you in my loudest tones
That I started looking for a warning sign
When the truth is
I miss you
Yeah the truth is
I miss you so
And I'm tired
I should not have let you go
Oooooooo
So I crawl back into your open arms
Yes I crawl back into your open arms
And I crawl back into your open arms
Yes I crawl back into your open arms
Apparently the telephone number for the Fire Department is right above the Fuel Farm in the phone book.

A sign discovered on the street, in a rather nice neighborhood near Roppongi. Nishi-Azabu, perhaps?
I can understand the warning about purse-snatchers, but chikan, meaning molestation, is a word mostly associated with the trains. Certain trains on certain lines at certain times of the day can be so packed that it's quite easy to for a woman to be felt up, touched inappropriately, or worse, without it being obvious who's doing it, and without (perhaps) there being anything much to be done about it. There's a lot more that could be said, about cultural aversions to drawing attention to yourself, the shame preventing you from wanting to draw attention (which is a cross-cultural thing), etc etc ... But I'm getting sidetracked.
I was amused, surprised, confused to find a sign warning about chikan on the streets. People get molested, felt up, on the streets? Really?
The only camel sign Ive seen while travelling Australia! Feral camel warning sign. Outback Australia.
Old icy bridge advisory west of Anadarko, Oklahoma. The old signs were hinged and only opened during the Fall and Winter.
I remember when US Sprint laid down the cable along the railroad and put these signs up in the 80's. For the latge amount of signs erected, there's only a few left.
Though I have photographed these signs before, I couldn't resist this shot as I could get the US Sprint sign in the same picture with the NJ Transit Police sign, plus an old Amtrak sign (see note) This deserved a separate picture, which I'll put up later.
Another added bonus is the abandoned building in the background.
This is one of the photos on the list for my Scavenger Hunt 101 - a road sign so I thought I would make it my photo of the day too.
Shot 90 - A road sign
Morgan St. near my apartment. The light focused on this one car made the whole scene look a lot more desolate than it really is.

Beware... believe it. Seems that the homeowner at the other end of a rather long driveway doesn't want any unexpected visitors. The location is on a small road just off of Main Street in downtown Centre. Shot with my Sony NEX 6. PhotoToaster used for fixing up the shot an for the fun border.
From a trip in October to Yellowstone NP. I did walk in a couple of miles by myself, although a park ranger on horseback was ahead of me by a half hour or so.
I was reliably informed by the landlord of the adjacent Land's End Inn that the River Loddon is 7.5 feet above it's normal 9 -12 inch level - this cannot be checked as the gauge is completely underwater! Unbelievably last year a woman tried to drive her car through the ford when the level was almost this high - she was rescued by the fire service. The new warning signs were put in after this incident, it remains to be seen whether they'll work.
If the lifts fails at Covent Garden Underground Station in London (UK) then it's 193 steps up to street level.. ;-)
Please do not introduce all kind of food inside this bussiness... thanks. Have you understood this?
Letrero a la entrada de una tienda de pastes en Real del Monte, Hidalgo, Mexico...
I saw this sign in not one but two places. By itself it's anyone's guess what it's warning against.
Actually even in context (by a small bridge over a river with a dam) it's pretty inscrutable, now that I think about it.
Do not cross the line warning sign at Weybourne Station on the North Norfolk Railway in Norfolk (UK).
