Reinko spotted this in Breda, Netherlands. It is to inform you that you should turn your engine off when the bridge is open. Or when the "bridge is open". Which is an anti-communist code or something.
I agree with the above, and would also point out that including the punctuation within the quotation marks would imply that they are part of the quote.
Love the blog - but one punctuation tip. Periods and commas always go inside quotation marks. Your caption should say "bridge is open."

ReplyDeleteThis may be a typographic preference, but it is not a grammatical rule.
