I was quite impressed with the responses to week 2, so here's a simple one. This sign seems easy enough to understand, but what we loved about it was that it was on the sidewalk and bordering a street that doesn't allow cars on it.
Again, for those new to sign-lations here's the basic idea: I post a photo and you interpret it. Translating (when in Swedish) should be off limits as it certainly makes for more entertaining translations.
Too easy: Pedophiles prohibited.

Don't hold children's hands while crossing - let them run free?
J/K, but I really have no idea!

Rachel, I agree. not sure exactly what they were going for with the sign.
Mark, you're brilliant. It makes perfect sense and is so obvious...I can't believe I didn't think of that sooner.

If the child was flying through the air holding a teddy bear, I'd say it bore a striking resemblance to the "no immigrant crossing" signs on the 5. But, somehow I doubt Mexican immigration is a concern in Stockholm?
