I’m a huge fan of signs and I always keep an eye out for the funniest or strangest ones, at home or abroad.
I found this gem when exploring the Central Experimental Farm a few days ago. It was put up in the very quiet parking lot. Feng and I looked at each other and burst out laughing. “The hell…?” we wondered.
“Looks like it’s a warning against old perverts kidnapping innocent girls,” I ventured.
I know it must mean “use the crosswalk and hold children’s hands” but really, couldn’t they come up with a less confusing sign design? Or maybe it’s just us…!

Ahahaha! Je vois la même chose que vous !
Bon, on est toutes les deux tordues alors 😆
no.. it should be… year end sales 50m ahead! let’s run lest the stocks are finished! 😀
That was it! 😆
Hi Zhu,
I looked at the screen in the first seconds and said “what the heck is that?!” I have never seen one like it.
That’s pretty funny! 🙂
Great capture!
Never seen it before in Ottawa, that’s for sure!
A keen eye & a great sense of humour – make for some wonderful photos!
😉 Thank you!
Lol – that is fairly funny. Reminds me of the sign they have right near the Rhine River at the border of France/Switzerland/Germany where they are trying to warn people not to drive into the water.. But really the sign just makes you think just like you are saying to this one… There will be… lol
Oh, there are some funny signs in Europe too!
I’ve seen this sign before, but never your interpretation, thank you for a good laugh on a Monday!
😉 I’m still not entirely sure what it meant!
Haha foreign signs that attempt english are the best. When I was in Cuba there was a sign that said “Bridge in Difference”…either they meant that the bridge was indifferent to your desire to get somewhere quickly or that between the difference of you and your destination there’s a bridge…always a good laugh.
Oh, I would have never understood that sign!
