Signese.com is a collection of photos of Chinese characters in action. Although most are taken by myself on the streets of Beijing, many are contributions, which can be sent directly from your mobile phone.
Queries and thoughts about the photos are always welcome via the comment function.

by the way, is there a law against random people hanging up slogans like this? meaning: how do people know that this is an official government slogan? of course, if it weren’t somebody would take it down…and fast. but still… have you ever been wanting to put up a slogan yourself? and if so, what would it be?
it i did, i’d write one about everybody having to share the delicious food that they are cooking at home — with the foreigner in the building (that’d be me). man, that smelled delicious again today!

I think you could get away with it if it wasn’t too obvious - everyone would assume everyone else had put it up.
Wonder what the Chinese would be for ‘Raising small yappy rat-sized dogs is forbidden’ . . . .
As for a law - I doubt there’s anything specific, but there probably isn’t a law that specifically says ‘You shall not let alligators loose on the subway.’ Doesn’t mean they won’t arrest you for it.

的确如此，详细情况请参阅《中华人民共和国治安管理处罚法》的第三章《违反治安管理的行为和处罚》里第四节妨害社会管理的行为和处罚》的第七十五条中关于所饲养的动物扰乱正常社会治安，干扰他人生活的相关处罚规定。
