Signs in NYC

When I visit a city, I like to read the signs on the street, as they say a lot from the city. NYC was not an exception, and I found a couple I find quite interesting (some others I did not dare to take the picture… shame on me).

Which One Is Real? Not The One You Think

"Which one is Real. Not the one you think. In NYC, it's illegal to paint a real gun to look like a toy, and to sell a toy gun that looks real." Something is wrong if you need this ad in the subway!

Seen in Harlem

I know there are many people who think this... but I didn't expect this in Harlem, one of the boroughs in NYC predominantly black.

Smoking Warning

Seen at Soho. Is there a better place to do anti-smoking campaign, than next to an ashtray?

Pepsi Obama

What did we say about Obama earlier? It seems Pepsi does not agree with them.

Signs in London

I like signs… especially when I can read them, like in London. 🙂

Sign - Bus

I want to start commenting a few about construction works. They are not that different from the ones you may know, but at least I found them with a lot more of information than back home. It seems the local government in London puts a lot of effort in avoiding inconveniences to the pedestrians by giving early notice about future construction works, and complete information about what is being done, why and until when. I don’t see that often in Spain, but maybe I don’t pay the same attention…

Sign - Footpath closing Sign - Advance Warning Notice Sign - Station

But, of course I found other signs which surprised me in other ways…

Sign - Thieves beware

Typical British: a really polite advice for the thieves... We don't want to catch you.

Sign - Alcohol Control Area

Anti-Botellon.

Sign - Gum and butts

Keep London clean. And just in case you don't get it, we write in red background what it is for.

Sign - Dont take it out

Are there so many people who take it out to the bus staff that they need this sign? O_o

Sign - Caught Short

This is the greatest... Technology is here to help us!

Simple: Look to the left, cars come from there.
