That is a translation of ¨danger¨ from English to Spanish.

If you read the first definition, it says ¨roads are a danger to cyclists¨

While they can be a danger, it sounds a lot like ¨cyclists need to avoid roads¨

Hehe :rolleyes:

The second definition uses the phrase, "you're in danger of losing your job."

Looks like they're using scenarios that immigrants might find familiar.

:(

But still, most Americans probably agree with the first definition.
