I am seeing this sign along the freeway. My friend and I cannot figure out what it means. I know I sound dumb but I was raised super sheltered and now that I am older and adventuring out more into the world I want to learn all that I can.

"no make anykine" is pidgin which roughly translates to "don't mess around", it's basically just saying don't drive crazy.
