They also banned feeding feral birds (pigeons), but there is absolutely no teeth to the law so it means nothing. I guess it's like your helmet law. It's sad that we need so many laws because people sometimes have no common sense.

The sign that always gets to me is the one by the RR track. It simply states, "Please don't stop on tracks" - really? Shouldn't it also add the hidden intended word, "Please don't stop on tracks... idiot!
