Stick Figures in Peril and More Warnings of Danger

I’ve stolen the title of this post from a Flickr Group which features ‘Stick Figures in Peril’. The best part of joining this group is all the comments as people try to guess the meaning of the signs.

Wales

An acorn on the footpath marker indicates that this is part of the Pembrokeshire Coast Trail; I like the little warning not to take a header off the crumbling cliffs.

Wild West Coast of Canada

This sign is for tsunamis, but if there isn’t a tsunami, why ever would you want to escape? Oh okay, apparently you can get caught by a high tide and need a way out.

‘Beware Rock!’ — the overprotective authorities in Hong Kong have made sure that no one trips over any protruding rocks that jut out along the pathway that leads around Lamma Island, a short ferry ride away from Hong Kong.
