A bold no-entry sign on some doors to a hospital corridor - it's actually the one that leads from the main hospital reception through to Accident and Emergency.Looks clear enough - and on both of the double doors too.
But then there's the message...
It's about using the doors only at certain times....Not between midnight and 7am, unless directed to do so.....
So this sign applies at night time only, and for some people only.
And then there's some handwritten additions.....it would appear not to apply to patients but visitors are ok.
So this all gets a bit complex for sure...
So this sign is not applicable for daytime, so it's the timing messages that should really take precedence over the no entry message.
The upshot is...
...Visitors are ok to pass through any time of day or night
... Patients can go though during the day, but not at night unless directed.
...In short...it's no entry to undirected patients at night.
There's a question about relevance here. This sign is directed at a small number of people, compared to those who see it and rule it out as not being applicable to them...which is at least all daytime patients and visitors.....
