Instructions for successful city habitation

Modern cities have instructions are everywhere!  I thought I'd document some just for fun!

Clapham Junction -2017.  Yes 2017.




Sensible advice on the Golden Gate bridge as the bridge has its own fog horns.




No fun in Belfast.



Southwark doesn't like fun either.





But there is zero fun in London.




500 quid fine! Best to hold it I reckon.



Why you would want to climb this I have zero idea. Whatever... don't climb it.



Hmmm... this sign appears to be held on with Blu-tac.  Quality installation in Battersea.



Take 20 minutes to read and inwardly digest instructions while fire takes hold. A nice touch is the Fire Alarm button and the picture on the sign have no resemblance.




Sign very confusingly installed right next to the bike parking at Waterloo station.  Quality.



Seriously, who thought this sign was actually necessary when the button has Open written on it already?



Unwritten message:  Don't fool with the emergency alarm or we'll have you on camera.



Nice touch the way the smoke merges into the border of the other sign.





Ahem... stop loitering and get off those steps and ledges!






A very popular bus box.  I wonder why!



I think we need a bigger door for all the signs we want to stick on it.




DANGER! DANGER!



I believe this installation is from the school of two signs with the same info are much better than one. Not sure what the difference is between an Emergency alarm and just a plain old Alarm though.



So... can we drop the window for some air while the train is moving?  Or not?



Moving signs on the tube doors...




Priority seats...




Don't forget the signs on the chairs too!





Nice touch to put the instructions miles away from the buttons.






Closed.





Even signs in Brixton...




At last - a home-made sign!



Hmmmm... 963? 923? 9623? 



I love the little mobile phone!



So this is the sign on a public bin to show you where to put out your cigarette.  Seriously... who would have a need for this?!



Sign read just after hitting my head on the bus.



So in summary to get out the door use the handle and open the door.  OK, got it.







This sign nearly too my head off!  While cycling on the pavement - in Wandsworth.





9pm - 11pm just so the foxes can break open all the bags in search of a good meal and leave the street in a complete mess.  Every time.



Call me old-fashioned but I'd prefer if you watched the road actually.




So it's OK now for cars to take half the pavement when parking.  It's bad enough being able-bodied but navigating the area on foot as a disabled or blind person must be an utter nightmare - good thinking Wandsworth council.




Installed at vast expense and unavailable to motorbikes as permanently parked over by cars.




Probably should be installed on the pavements in Wandsworth next to the "You can park you car on this pavement" sign...




Brixton money machine... very cool.



Some italian signs...
