Let's see if I have this sign figured out. Running beside your bicycle is not allowed. Having an open tin can is not permitted. Mallets cost $500.00. I'm linking to Lesley's Signs, Signs.

No balancing/standing on your bike and never ever if you also have an open can with you.
ReplyDeleteThe open tin can gets me. Surely there was something else to express no littering.
DeleteReally great explanation of this unintelligible sign.
ReplyDeleteI love your interpretation ANdy. I have a ton of signs I captured in Paris last week. I'm featuring mine on Saturdays.

My husband always says this means no bikes and no cans, but if you have a mallet, someone will give you $500 for it. We still have yet to find where to trade in the mallet though! :)
ReplyDeleteHa! You ARE a funny one, Andy! :))
ReplyDeleteThanks EG. That was my plan for a normally boring sign.
DeleteI love this kind of signs! Well caught!
ReplyDeleteAmazing how signs can have an alternative explanation! This one really needs more clarity! But maybe not! It's a fun sign as is!
ReplyDeletesometimes these road signs are very entertaining and thought provoking.
ReplyDeleteNice explanation of those signs Andy!
ReplyDeleteWonderful interpretation!
ReplyDeleteBill and I both laughed at your post; I called him to look because I couldn't figure out what the tin can was actually supposed to say. (Thank goodness I know now, because, you know, I always drive around throwing my garbage out of the car window if it's not specifically against the rules).
ReplyDeleteYou came up with a great explanation for this weird sign. It is something else...am wondering if the open can could mean garbage. genie
ReplyDeletethey should replace that tin can with a water bottle.
ReplyDeleteGood point Lesley. Tim Horton's coffee cup would be my second choice.
DeleteI love your interpretation. Pretty damn expensive mallets, must be for a government job. The first one could be 'No jumping over your bike' or 'No standing on your bike seat'.
ReplyDeletethe thing that has always confused me, is that Canadian judges don't use gavels - that is American.
ReplyDeleteThat's a fact I did not know.
DeleteThat is an interesting sign. At least it's only a $500 mallet, here the cost for using a mallet to open a tin can is $1,000.
ReplyDelete:p does it mean that if you don't have $500, you'd be sent to jail?
ReplyDeleteWe don't have signs like these, does the mallet mean a $500 fine?
ReplyDeleteYou are right Jan. With today's posting. I was just a being just a smart ass.
DeleteI think $500 is not stiff enough. Great find!
ReplyDeleteYou are one funny guy, Andy! Thanks for interpreting this Canadian sign, eh? ha ha! You know, that tin can could also mean "no tipping garbage cans". That would be an AMERICAN'S version, I guess!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant interpretation!! Thank you for the laugh!
