‘Caution: Water on road during rain’

Campaigners for the English language on Thursday attacked a growing tendency for "obvious" public information posters, such as a police sign urging people: "Don’t Commit Crime." Other examples highlighted by the Plain English Campaign include "Warning: Platform ends here" on the end of rail station platforms, and "May cause drowsiness" on sleeping pills.
