Broken: All-encompassing sign

Diana Cornwell writes:

Here's a sign that I saw in a small pull-off from the main coastal road near Bermagui, in New South Wales, on Australia's south-eastern coast. Even on closer inspection, I could only read the one word on it. But what a powerful word! When I took the photo, I wondered if I'd be prosecuted for doing so.

That is without a doubt the best sign ever. If I ever have kids...

Reminds me of a certain Yoko Ono art exhibition where she allegedly had built a ladder or a staircase towards the ceiling. On the ceiling, there would be a tiny label saying "Yes".

I'd comment on this, but I won't out of fear that the sign originally said "No commenting on this sign"...

These signs are common over intersections around Atlanta, Georgia.

The sign is probably faded, leaving the viewer to wonder just what the heck it's forbidding.

I think some kid may have painted over the 'parking' or whatever was under the no as a joke. Bet he didn't know it would get on the internet!

There used to be a sign like this on the fence of Meigs Field (airport) in Chicago. The fence separated the runways from a public beach, and simiar signs in the area said "No kite flying." It's one of my favorite pictures.
