Here is how i read the sign: IF this bridge is driven past (apparently this sign is located at some line-in-the-sand point), it is swing warning ('swing warning' being like a condition red) Power will be lost.

If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

Or maybe the sign maker argued with the person writing it about the mis-used apostrophe and didn't want it attributed to her/him!
Great use of blood red.

I hope you're correct, Jeannette.
How does one drive a bridge? And why is it a swing warning?
@kbro, i've been wondering the same hing.

I think it means, "If this bridge is driven past its swing (ie, swings too far) it will lose power."
But everything's wrong. The speech marks, the apostrophe, the construction of the sentence, the languauge used. Just terrible.
