There is a line we cross when we go from "I will believe it when I see it" to "I will see it when I believe it".

Pedophile Free Zone.
Identifying narcissists isn't difficult. Just look for the person who is constantly fishing for compliments
and admiration while breaking down over even the slightest bit of criticism.

We have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences.

Wait - so the sign is to the parents, letting them know that pedophiles can operate freely in the free zone, and that they will lose their child if they enter?

I'd say no walking across the street at that location, or hold child's hand if you do.

Not clear.
That's a bad sign.

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

The sign means there’s NO foot path ahead. Click on this link, scroll down, and in the 15th row, 2nd column, you’ll see the sign:

Why not a foot with a bar through it? It would be more clear.

Maybe its because people are accustomed to signs that use stick like figures to represent people?

We use signs to indicate allowed, or prohibited pedestrian traffic, with an intuitive stick figure walking. A picture of an adult holding the hand of a child seems to want to indicate something about the two of them and their relationship to one another (otherwise why two people in the image?), so it's counterintuitive to think that this is telling me about walking.

Given the bricks in the road though, I wondered if it wasn't something similar, specifying the lack of footpath, and perhaps the beginning of a bikepath, or something similar.

The adult figure has one foot slightly raised, to indicate walking, so I'm guessing it has something to do with being a pedestrian. Might help to see the whole area rather than just that angle on it. Horrible sign though.

Do we know the answer?

Edit: should have read the thread. I'll do that next time I post.

Agreed, KB. Really, I don't understand how anybody has time to try to understand anybody else's thoughts. I'm busy enough with my own.

I know my Tolkien. If that's not a band of hobbits or gnomes, I don't know what is!

I agree that one should be cautious around them.
