Physical spaces have privacy policies?

I've seen TOSes on mall doors before. They've been white letters on clear glass at just about foot level written in letters about 1cm tall. They were usually about violence and guns and shoplifting being grounds to ejection and banning.

The only people who ever see them is the decal printing company, the guy who installs them, and mice.

A lot of malls I've been in have a "terms of conduct" sign near the entrance when you walk in. Similarly bizarre are the signs at the parking lot entrance that act similarly.

I'll take that one further! Every street that enters the city I live in, has a sign with text that you'll only be able to read if you park your car, get out, and walk up to it. I've lived here 5 years and I still don't know what the heck those signs say lol. My guess is it's something about parking enforcement? Sigh. It's completely absurd lol.

The ones here all say "No Roller-blading", which should be a good indicator as to how relevant they are.
