Subway Signs
Don't become a statistic.
Don't play dumb.
Be smart.
Be safe.
Don't leave your valuables.
Don't get too close to the edge.
Don't smile back.
Don't press, unless
it's an emergency.
Be smart.
Be safe.
Don't see his face.
Don’t think about it.
Don't give in.
Don't fall.
Be smart.
Be safe.
Don't fall.
Don't fall.
Don't love.
Watch out.
Look for signs.
Follow the rules.
Don’t become a statistic.
Don’t play dumb.
Be smart.
Be safe.
