    WOAH TIL

    I had never considered the red edge alone being no. Seems simple, but it didn’t occur to me since we have slashes through all our no’s.

      Here in the UK we have slashes through many of the red-bordered road signs, but not all of them. People often misunderstand the ones that don’t - for instance, these mean “no motor vehicles” and “no cars” respectively:

      The council probably collects a lot of money in fines from people misunderstanding those two in particular

        misunderstanding those two

        Easy…

        The one on the left is warning your about Arnold Schwarzenegger, the T-800 model Terminator. He could ambush you at anytime riding on a motorcycle he stole acquired from a bar along with a shotgun.

        The one on the right is warning you that you’re dealing with a T-1000 and it has already merged with your car, thus, invisible to you. You are already dead, the liquid metal will slide to the front passenger seat, then stab you to death.

        Did I get it right? 😁

        It makes more sense than it meaning only cars and bikes, or cars and bikes allowed but yeah, I probably broke some rules while I was touring :)
