Respete las Signales

 Respete las Signales (or no maltrate, or obedzca)
Translation: Respect, don't mistreat or obey the signs

Interpretation(s): The irony of this signs is as rich and non-nonsensical as a Zen koan. If you haven't been respecting the signs, why would you respect a sign that told you to respect it? However, in the field this sign is very useful. For example, Pangas are getting of the water, pelicans aren't flapping their wings, and cat's paws are turning into whitecaps. Respect these signs; El Norte is building, get off the water. More metaphysically, our lives tell us things if we listen but only if we listen.
