Difference between sign and notice Fri May 20, 2005 11:06 am  Difference between sign and notice
 

Notice is needed here because it would provide a specific piece of written information of a temporary nature like wet paint/no milk today. Sign would indicate a direction or a place to go to or an official designation like no smoking, which would be permanent.
