Over the years I have seen some excellent examples of what I call "No" signs. I often wonder when I see these signs whether anything is allowed at these places.

So far the maximum number of "Prohibition" or "Advisory " symbols I have seen mounted on one post is Sixteen (16). I would love to see what the world record is.

Some Authorities and Bureaucracies are very inventive with these signs. Perhaps a "No" sign award needs to be created.

Some "No" symbols will call for imaginative thinking, just imagine the symbol required for "No NUDE Bathing," or even better still what about one allowing nude bathing. Any suggestion will be gratefully received and forwarded to the relevant authorities.

Palm Beach - Cairns Perhaps nude bathing is allowed!	Clearly Bad A delighfully clear example of all things bad	Law Breakers Prohibited No doubt about the intent of this.
No wets here Fremantle Ports being friendly	Rogue Jetty Robe Jetty in South Australia	We'll catch you here More than water is captured here
Cables abundant too for people Watch your step, a bitter consequence could result	Just in case you get Board Quite a bit of reading here - Port Philip Bay	Beach Information A delightfully tasty "no" sign that provides NO "information"

If you see any good "No" signs and would like to share them with the world, please send a jpg, a brief description of the sign and its environs, and I will post it here with acknowledgements (if you wish).
