Unbeknownst to @Cataglyphis, I've started calling the mysterious signs in everyday urban life "cataglyphs".

Your turn! Identify the meaning of these cataglyphs found on a local subway escalator.

No babies.
Keep your right hand free.
Hold hands with dwarfs.
Stay within the conveyor belt handles.

No golf carts.
Spears are mandatory.
Teach your children how to fish with a spear.
You may stand at the end of the escalator, watching the sunset.

(Hard to beat @Dinzla and @Redfrettchen, they cracked me up)

LoL you guys!

Good tries, but the cataglyphs clearly state:
1. Black strollers are not allowed to go left
2. People without lower bodies allowed
3. Pole vaulters may bring children
4. It girls with ridiculous dogs have to stand left

1. No outward smuggling of children
2. Exhibit 'A' notice apparent lack of child
3. Hide child BELOW railing to achieve exhibit 'A's effect
4. When all else fails, hold child as if it were a ridiculously small dog
