Amsterdam 2007

In a first violation of the principle that this blog is about signs from abroad, here are some old ones from Amsterdam.
Splashing water. Sign at the Hogesluis Bridge which used to be cooled on hot days by hosing water on it. The bridge is now being renovated







This one stood at a construction site at Sloterdijk for months if not years. They must have brought it from Belgium.



The famous blowverbod (ban on smoking dope) sign at the Mercatorplein. The sign has become obsolete after a recent court ruling to the effect that Amsterdam has no power to ban the - already illegal - drug. Rutger Groot Wassink (GroenLinks) proposed to raffle off the signs.
