Overview

This sign is the most visually complete dual-restriction policy sign in the entire series — and the stacked dual-icon layout in the lower right panel is what makes it so. Two prohibition symbols, one above the other — a no-smoking circle-slash icon on top, a no-vaping circle-slash icon below — sit beside the “EXCEPT IN DESIGNATED AREA” text, providing a one-to-one visual correspondence between each prohibition in the red header above and its matching symbol in the white panel below. The result is a sign where every restriction stated in text has an icon confirming it, creating a fully redundant communication system that works across language barriers, distance, and varying levels of attention.

This dual-icon structure makes the sign particularly valuable in mixed-language environments and high-traffic locations where some visitors will read the full text, others will scan the header only, and still others will register only the prohibition symbols as they pass. All three groups receive the complete dual-restriction message through whichever channel they happen to engage. The bold red “NO SMOKING / NO VAPING” header in white text on red provides the full-panel urgency and authority of a prohibition sign, while the white lower panel delivers the designated area exception in calm black text alongside the two stacked icons. For Los Angeles properties managing both smoking and vaping compliance across diverse visitor populations, this is the single most communicatively comprehensive sign in the series.
