What does this signage mean? #dangerouscurrent What does this signage mean when you can see people swimming and playing in the water in front of the signage? I wonder what tourists think of this.

My Japanese friend asked me: Does this signage mean “you can’t swim here but you can walk or play (where you can stand up?) because of dangerous current?” #interpretation #culturalperspective

Shall we use this extremely scary signage to stop people doing dangerous stuff? #scary #but #prevention #life #signage #tourists #visualcommunication

Today at @cranebeachmass my 9-year-old daughter nearly drowned while I was watching her, in full view of two life guard stations, on an uncrowded and overcast day. Drowning doesn’t look like drowning, and I hope a lot of people read this and remember the signs. 🧵

I had no idea what this sign means until I read “beware of vehicles”. Doesn’t an exclamation mark apply to all matters?
