The Delft train station has a design flaw: there’s a big glass wall along a coffee and seating area, there’s a rotating door in the glass wall to exit to the plaza, and then right next to it, multiple normal non-rotating glass doors that look like perfectly normal exits you’re supposed to use. Except they’re only meant to be emergency exits, and touching them sets off an alarm. If you don’t read Dutch, this is NOT obvious.
So yeah, some poor lady just tried to use the door and stood there mortified as station security casually sauntered over to disable the alarm for probably the seventh time today… There was a guy eating borgor next to her who was casually like “oh, yeah, don’t touch those.”
I think this is another case of the Dutch signage not being very internationally legible. A pleasant green and white icon of a little guy moseying out the door just does not scream “you will die of embarrassment if you touch this Peril Door when there’s no emergency” to me
