Signs, Signs, Everywhere A Sign

But are these truly necessary (even if, as the comments suggest, one of them means something differen than it may seem at first glance…)

That’s a crackup…I wish I could swipe one of those signs and attach it to the front door of my house or some other very conspicuous place.

Very funny.

Roy, thanks for the comment. Are you sure that it means no fireworks? No one I have talked to in Beijing really has a clue what it means. “No sirens” and “no transporting explosives” seemed reasonable guesses. But I’ve also heard “no transporting Christmas trees” and “no poultry in cars.”
No fireworks signs, which they also have in Shanghai, mostly look like this or this.
