With the modern cars of the 21st Century and with fuel vapor shutoff sensors on gas station nozzles, all one usually has to do to put gasoline in a vehicle is to follow directions. Those of us well over 50 years of age remember when it was customary to top off the tank when refueling our cars or trucks. Rarely did that lead to spills and even if there was minor overflow, we thought little of it. In this age of environmental concerns and air pollution, we think very much of spilling gasoline since the fumes will absorb into the atmosphere. My State of California is especially concerned with this and requires vapor recover systems on all petrol pumps. With modern technology, there is no need to TOP OFF. Advancements in fuel tanks and fuel dispensers fill our petrol tanks to the appropriate level without our additional help. So why this message on the dispenser as we pump fuel into our vehicles? Because, even with all the technology, instructions, warnings about environmental damage, some people still ignore the safety precautions at filling stations.
Message: Do not top off.

There are a bunch of switchbacks to get you up to the saddle, then the fun begins ... depending on what you think is fun.
There's a warning sign up there so this must be fun, right?

I *think* this sign means "Warning, Yield Ahead", but I am far from certain. The yellow diamond means "warning" and the downward pointing arrow means "yield", so that is my surmise. Do the people putting up signs in my town really think anyone will understand this?
Our Daily Challenge: MYSTERIOUS
The Florida Fish & Wildlife Commission reports that over 1,000 manatees have died to date in 2021, a major spike in the mortality. The species is vulnerable to injury and death when stuck by the propellers of passing boats, hence these widespread FWC warning signs. But malnutrition is thought to be the primary cause of this year’s surge, especially in the Tampa Bay Area, which suffered major pollution from red tide and a gypsum stack leak.

though I pass the famous bridge almost every day, it was my only time walking there. I found this interesting warning sign. i am wondering if there are people who would be surprised to know that "jumping from this bridge are fatal and tragic"?
In Norway you actually find signs like these - and many other weird signs - along the road. This is the "don't drive your car off the pier"-sign. And if it wasn't there, I would prolly have gone straight off the pier and into the ocean. Not! It still is a funny sign though.
So far as I can tell, this sign forbids people jumping their cars Dukes Of Hazard style into the south Cork quays in Cork, Ireland. Though, sadly, the ramp pictured was not included even for those who desired to do so.
Actually on second thought (and correction) it's actually encouraging people to do so as there's no line through it!
In reality, it's a warning about a sharp curve and hidden dangers on a back alley road (swear it scared me to death) leading to the South Ring Route to the areas southwest of Cork.
Love the new messages that are starting to appear they make the journey so interesting.
You can add comments to them all.
Avoid Distrations ... stop reading these signs
Tyre Safety ... what check it now whilst I do 70?
Ask Passengers to belt up ... ahh a quiet journey!
Reduce Carbon emissions ... eat less beans!
