Question: A security guard working for a private condominium building notices a red square mark on a white background at eye level on a fence post. What does this symbol indicate according to the Trespass to Property Act?

Answer options:

• A warning for dangerous animals.
• The property is for sale. ✅ Entry onto the premises is prohibited.
• A designated parking area.

Correct answer: Entry onto the premises is prohibited.

Explanation: Subsection 3(3) of the Trespass to Property Act specifies that a notice prohibiting entry or activity may be given by the posting of signs and where the notice is to prohibit entry under clause 2 (1) (a), the signs shall be posted at entrances to the premises and, in the case of a trespass to which clause 2 (1) (a) applies, shall have red circles at least 10 centimetres in diameter and be placed at eye level and not more than 25 metres apart. While the question mentions a red square, the intent is clearly to refer to a symbol indicating prohibition of entry, as outlined by the Act for such signage.
