Access forbidden ?

This is a Polish sign. I would assume it means: no entry or don't walk here...

Crossing

Seen in Poland, I assume it means press the button before crossing...

Antique

An envelope I recently found: funny isn't it ? many young computer specialists don't even know what it is... an 8" floppy disk, the standard low cost storage about 30 years ago... 100 to 500KBytes were typical capacities in those heroic times...

This is a funny one, spotted in Namur, Belgium, around the railway station. The symbol means, don't walk on the tracks, nobody allowed from here. Did you ever see people walking with their arms like that ?

Non smoking
