Death danger!


This sign is familiar to all French people. You find it on all places where electricity may become a danger. Here it's near the Gare du nord (Northern Station) where people could jump over the fence and get electrocuted. In fact this sign is probably here for legal reasons; so that in case of an accident the railway company can claim "well, we warned you..."

  1. I like it when there is a skull and crossbones on such signs. It's spooky as hell!

  2. Another "SNCF" sign that I like a lot is (or was -- I have not seen any for a long time) :
    "Attention en traversant la voie : un train peut en cacher un autre" (Caution when crossing the track: a train can hide another one).

Sorry, but due to the amount of spam that I get I had to ban all anonymous comments. You can still comment, but you need to have one of the listed accounts (Google - your gmail address for instance - LiveJournal, Typepad...). If you don't have one it only takes a minute to open one. Sorry for the inconvenience, but that is the only solution I have.
