a common sight in Japan, due to fears of Yakuza, who were historically about the only people with tattoos.
My ramble in the Tetbury/Westonbirt area today took me at one point past the rear of the Highgrove House estate. The one access gate I passed had this rather impressive (I thought) Get Lost sign on it.

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!

Something similar actually happened to one of my uncles, though in his case it was a motorcycle and a tramline (and an approaching tram). He was very lucky to get away with a badly broken leg.
On a sunny Sunday afternoon in Florida. When you go for a walk in the park, there are signs to remind you of Florida"s different dangers!

I made this photo of a sign on the wooden path leading to the observation deck at Fort Funston warning of the crash risk of hang gliders. I bet a crash would be just as hard on the hang glider pilots.
There •is• help, if you need it. You are not alone.
Call the number on the sign, or look here for help worldwide:

I took a walk through The Park in Nottingham on 23rd July 2011 and is of one of the signs on a green area on Peveril Drive. The Park is not only the last place in Nottingham where the streets are still lit by gas lights, but the road signs are in a time-warp as well. Unfortunately, they cannot really be categorised as pre-Worboys or post-Worboys, as they exhibit features from both eras. In addition, because the Park is essentially a network of private roads, some signs (like this one) don't conform with signs found (or formerly found) on public roads elsewhere. Nonetheless, I felt they were worthy of record.
Warning sign on an 22kV electricity substation in the Melbourne suburb of Footscray. Until the privatisation of the Victorian electricity industry in the mid 1990s a number of local councils operated their own electricity distribution businesses, known as Municipal Electricity Undertakings. They bought electricity in bulk from the State Electricity Commission of Victoria and sold it to consumers in their municipalities..
