I said no parking!


I said no parking!
Originally uploaded by nofrills.

one of the strongest "NO" sign I've ever seen.

the characters appears here is "駐禁 (chu-kin)" which is shortened form of "駐車禁止駐車禁止(chu-sha-kin-shi)".

actually in our daily informal conversations, we often say "chu-kin" instead of "chu-sha-kin-shi," but but we seldom write "chu-kin".
