Christiania, also known as Freetown Christiania, is a neighbourhood with its own rules, independent of the Danish government. It's a hippy commune of sorts. Christiania was started in an abandoned army barracks in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1971. The government has attempted, without success, to remove the squatters, and is not sympathetic to its existence as soft drugs have always been part of the plan. (The main drag is known as Pusher Street).
Although I found the Christiania experience quite disturbing, I had to laugh (and take a photo) when I saw this message. It's really about bending the rules, just a little bit. Like a STOP sign saying PAUSE AND THEN GO.
