How many beltways does it take to get to the center of the Houston metro?

People named McCartney shall not walk here.
"You know, you never have a guaranteed spot until you have a spot guaranteed."
—Olaf Kolzig, as quoted in the Washington Times on March 28, 2003,
commenting on the Capitals clinching a playoff spot.

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"
—Kolzig, to the same reporter a few seconds later.

A couple of things wrong with that answer:

1.  There's no slash mark through the sign or red circle or anything, so it can't be a prohibition.
2.  The sign shows the right foot in front, which matches only McCartney.

So, yes, that was definitely a bad answer.  Good job!  I mean bad job.  I mean good job...

Exactly.  The sign shows dress shoes instead.  Those are required.

Which is why my prior answer was correct in saying Paul McCartney shall not walk there—he was barefoot.

People will be wearing loafers ahead.  If you have sneakers on, you will be underdressed.

It tells you if there are feet ahead. Quentin Tarantino is a big fan:

So the sign in question means that something is two feet ahead? That's not much warning.
