Maximum occupancy not to exceed 182 persons

This picture shows two elevators in a large observation room at the top of a tall building. Notice the sign on the wall between the elevators. It says... (picture of sign)

These must be pretty big elevators!

Design suggestion

The placement of this sign is important in interpreting its meaning. Notice how the sign at first glance seems to apply to the elevators since it is next to them. Actually, we know it doesn't apply to the elevators since these elevators can't even come close to holding 182 people. The sign applies to the whole room!
