"Please think left"

The text "Fahrtreppenbenutzungshinweise" means "Movingstairsusagenotices".

Well, this isn't a word that would be used in everyday conversation. You normally see this kind of language on official signs and notices. If I were to refer to this sign in conversation I would say "die Hinweise auf der Rolltreppe" (the notices on the escalator), which sounds a little more natural.
