I have seen one of those before at an school parking lot's entry way inside the parking area. The parking lot had both an entrance and exit driveway, spaced far apart. Cars and buses would enter via the street entrance before reaching the school, drop or pickup kids off in front of the building and exit to the street on the opposite side of the school. It was shaped like a fat flat half circle and all one way direction. Unfortunately, some people do not have the patience to wait in line exiting the lot after dropping off their children, so they try driving out the entrance way to get to the street. Naturally doing so often creates traffic problems (or worse) for drivers trying to exit the street using the CORRECT entry way.

I see, so what you're saying is that this sign is facing inward, and could be switched for a "Wrong Way" sign.

Yep. Usually Wrong Way signs are reserved either for directing drivers to not exit a street or highway at the wrong place or people who flat out do not know what direction they should be driving on a street or highway. I think the Entrance Only signs further emphasize to those special folks who believe wrong way is actually the right way since they want it to be their way within off-street/off-highway locales. JMO.

Because a regular "DO NOT ENTER!" sign would be too simple and easy to understand ..

If the sign creators knew anything about how people read signs, they would know that most people stop reading a sign the moment they perceive to understand the sign.

In this case, most drivers will see 'ENTRANCE" and stop reading.

This is not completely due to laziness, but also to a desire to refocus on the road along with other cars and pedestrians in the area.

The most effective way to create a road sign is to use as few words as possible and as large of sign as possible.

One thing I have noticed in my area is that they are now designing sign poles with reflective material that matches the sign color which helps, but again, keeping it simple is still the best approach.

Very true. When I get more time we will discuss how the mind works. I have read some interesting stuff about the mind.

No signs/mind for this one.

Let me offer a rebuttal.

I laugh at Your "Squirrel proof" bird feeder.

Guess the next easiest step will be moving the feeders further away from the fence.

It's not that easy

We used to have bird feeders in the back yard for the Golden Finches. The squirrels would do everything to get up on them We used to grease up the poles. It was funny as hell watching them try to climb it. Jump from trees, all kinds of shenanigans.
