Not exactly a sign but this was too funny to miss. I just liked the sense of humour. Spotted in downtown Vancouver.

Strasbourg Cathedral

Spotted in France, when entering the cathedral, you see that you have to be silent, don't smoke, don't use a phone, don't bring food, a pet and don't wear a hat.

Another no picture sign

... same story as the previous one. Always funny to see how quickly those signs are getting outdated.

No pictures (1)

Just another sign to show that taking pictures and filming are prohibited.

Signs in Colmar, France, to indicate the Christmas Market. All directions were in fact possible since the shops were all over the city, hence the confusing directions.

Watch the gap ?

Just another version of the numerous mind the gap signs, only this one was not exactly readable from a distance. Seen in the NY subway.

Logical

Something very logical and already old in the USA, but almost never displayed in Europe even if most people will expect EVERYBODY to wash their hands...

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...
