SIGNS

Alight

As far as I know I've never found a public notice in Japan like the yellow one, which is why I first decided to take a photo of it. Closely looking at the notice, then, I first learned the word, alight. From the way it looked like, to me at first the word seemed to be concerned with lighting or fire rather than with the act of getting out of a vehicle as used in the notice. (Needless to say to a native speaker) actually it is its adjective form that bears the meaning concerned with fire, which I learned later.
