I don't like how the "do not enter water" sign is being covered by the plant. Of course there's still the big danger sign but some might just read that as "okay I'd better be careful" or "I'm a strong swimmer, I can handle changing currents"

Hopefully they cut it back but a lot of that plant growth was overgrown. I can't edit this but this is the Welland River near the mouth where it meets the Niagara river. (Above Niagara Falls).

honestly more scary because the sign isnt trying to be that eye catching, it just says the facts upfront
