Because Words Aren’t Enough

Airports are full of regulatory and warning signs, but this is rare. It was erected by the authorities at St. Maarten’s Princess Juliana Airport in New Zealand to warn unwary travelers to stay away from the runway. Perhaps it’s because the runway is too close to the airport parking lot. 

Thinking about it, it’s perhaps a step in the right direction after an incident in the airport in 2017. A woman died after standing too close to an airliner as it took off. Humans are highly visual creatures, and you have to give props to the authorities for finding the best way to pass their message.
