Fear doesn't travel well; just as it can warp judgment, its absence can diminish memory's truth. What terrifies one generation is likely to bring only a puzzled smile to the next. --Arthur Miller, "Why I Wrote 'The Crucible'", The New Yorker, October 21, 1996

Suck it, haters. Feminism rocks!
If memory serves, the red triangle means “watch out for, careful, go slowly.”
Nice of them to care so much for the sex workers.
At that rate, all the rubbernecking and watching-out could cause a pileup. Something I’m sure was not what they had in mind.
What are they trying to say?
“Prostitute Crossing Zone!” The sex workers leap out suddenly from the woods and bound across the street?
“Prostitute Playing Zone!” What? The sex workers are just falling down in the street and going at it with the johns?
“Prostitute Falling Zone!” The johns get so enthusiastic with their sex worker that they come tumbling down the bank and out in the street?
Geez! The possibilities are endless!
Actually, according to the entry at the FailBlog, the sign warns drivers against stopping and talking to the ladies. Apparently soliciting is illegal in Italy because the authorities just can’t seem to do anything better about the sex-slave trafficking going on in their country. Going after the pimps is apparently too hard and antagonizes the Mafia, so they make it a crime to talk to women, even if the women are there against their will and desperate for help getting back to Russia, Moldova and wherever else they truck them in from.
It would be funny if it weren’t so awful.
Oops…Open mouth…insert foot.
I just love the Italian backbone. It’s easier to keep the women in the sex slave trade than do battle with the mafia. And possibly because their Prime Minister can’t keep his zipper zipped, too.
Oh, but of course. Berluscoglioni is the industry’s #1 customer!
