Broken: Subway door warning

Haim Hirsch took a picture from inside a New York City subway, and writes:

The "Do not lean on door" sign is pretty good, but how about "Do not hold doors": How would someone read that sign [affixed to the door] when the door is open - the time when they should not do the holding?

(And do they really expect New Yorkers to heed that sign ;-)  - perhaps some uncomfortable - but not actually dangerous - bristles along the edge of the doors to dissuade door-holding.)
