Danger - Do not lean out or put your hands out of the window


Explanation:


A version of "nicht hinauslehen"/"do not lean out"/ne pas se pencher dehors"/e pericoloso sporgersi".......

But the word "danger" is usually used in such cases to attract attention to the risk?. No need to mention "train" because the message is in a train and this part is selfy-evident

agree  Óscar Delgado Gosálvez: Only I would leave the (Danger) out and place it between brackets, it's a good suggestion but not a part of the translation.
43 mins
  -> I once wrote a paper about the "buzz" words in different languages to attract attention to danger. (danger de mort/French; Lebensgefahr/German etc.)- In English we often use the word "danger" in the event of risk, where other languages might leave it out
