Good on you, tumu.

I reckon they try to show a kind of sense of humour.

Ａｆｔｅｒｏｎ，ｏｖｅｒｏｆｆ

克莱瑟给记者举例说，他乘坐地铁，“Ａｆｔｅｒｏｎ，ｏｖｅｒｏｆｆ”的标语就让他摸不着头脑，“后来问了一些朋友才知道意思是‘先下后上’，可是我们并不明白这句话的意思。”克莱瑟告诉记者，他还看到一些自己就能看出来的错误词语，“有个酒店里防火指示中‘ｅｖａｃｕａｔｅ（疏散）’错用成‘ｓｃａｔｔｅｒ（驱散）’。”

这个公示语言既啰嗦，也不符合英语的表达习惯
按照符合英语表达习惯的表达方法是 Keep the place clean.
