Say it with signs
Car number plates are signs and in Germany they (sometimes) make words. I’ve been collecting them and here are all words I found on cars from F for Frankfurt.
I want to stay
now with the
season approaching. I think I can
this by dressing warmly.
I hope I won’t look too
wearing my fake
This should go
to letting me feel and look

Signs
The sign of a fire insurance on a house in Brandenburg. It was founded 1718.
I saw this sign in Frankfurt. I thought it was a foreign alphabet but couldn’t find a match. Then I got up I looked at the picture skew and realised it’s a word: T U M U L T (the same word exists in German), probably the name of a bar.
I think this alludes to a German saying: The place to which even a king has to go to on foot.

These rules rule!
We are often faced with rules – usually negative ones, forbidding something. Many non-German speakers know one German expression: Verboten! (Forbidden!). It doesn’t matter that they are often for our own good, like this one:
saying: Cross the road, it’s dangerous on this side! They still prohibit something.
Children are more often faced with explicit rules. This rule, though, is my all time favourite:
Playing welcome! Children and adults are allowed to laugh and romp around.
In Munich I came across this sign:
Playground for under 16s – Entry for adults only allowed if accompanied by children.
Therefore there is one rule I try to follow (not always but often):

Doggies in the window (and outside)
A post about dogs.
And signs. This is from Germany. There is a path for walkers and bicycles. Skaters are allowed. Dogs have to be on a leash in the entire area.
This notice is educational: As this was mounted at a pasture, there is an explanation that cows, cattle (is there a difference?), horses, sheep, and similar animals can become very ill due to dog excrements.
No dog toilet here. The yellow sign concerns general rubbish dumping. It is stated that reasonable people will not dump rubbish here. Unreasonable people are not allowed to do so.
This sign is from near Bamburgh Castle in the UK. A fine and the proper law is quoted to quell any discussions.
Either the sign is older or Sunderland (less than 100 km to the South) is cheaper concerning fines.
In Hockley Heath near Birmingham they show people what to do.
And it is even more accommodating if bags are provided.
This is for Cee’s Oddball Challenge.
It’s a dangerous world out there
Beware! Dangers abound. So do warnings.
Sometimes the warnings are very wordy:
Danger of lightning, of rabies, of swimming, of plummeting down a ravine, or simply of a gate.
Sometimes pictograms seem enough:
No jumping (deadly peril!), no slipping, no driving into trees. And beware of sudden drops, strong currents, submerged rocks, deep water, large waves, giant frogs, and elderly people!
But the biggest danger of them all:
Beware of children!
