To be on the safe side, I took this sign seriously. But google translate confidently translates the text on the sign as "I've been reading the label on the flea", which strikes me as rather silly.

Explanations welcome.

Edit: perhaps the landowner is suggestion he/she has very good eyesight, and nothing escapes him/her.

That's how I'd interpret it.

Although curiously, No Entry normally implies that entry is allowed, but not by this entrance (as in a car park where the exit has No Entry from the road).

Spotted this fantastic sign on the way to Aachen yesterday too late to do anything about it.

On the way back I asked my German companion to photograph it but in the dark with the iPhone it is a bit rubbish.

But basically the sign is to Dreieck Jackerath straight ahead and the junction takes you to Titz.

Can't comment on Titz, but there's a Triangle near Halifax.

An instruction, not a sign: When I turn on its GPS feature my Panasonic FT-3 asks me rather sweetly to

Please follow cabin attendants after turning on GPS.

"I wasn't stalking her, yer honner, the camera told me to do it."

Saul Hudson take note.

I never thought of him...

I am now intensely curious as to what's going on here...

Never heard of him. Rather, this elicited memories of a chap climbing onto a kitchen counter in UCL halls of residence and proclaiming "I'm going to have a slash out of this window". A student and a gentleman, forsooth.
