Google Walked You Into a Loading Dock. That Sign Is Not a Suggestion.

To say staff only, no entry in Japanese, say 関係者以外立入禁止 (kankeisha igai tachiiri kinshi).

Google just walked you through a loading dock in Shinjuku. The man in the uniform is not a tour guide.

Kanji in this phrase

関係者以外立入禁止: かんけいしゃいがいたちいりきんし
関係者: かんけいしゃ
立入禁止: たちいりきんし
間違えました: まちがえました

Why this phrase

Maps love service alleys because they look like shortcuts. The sign 関係者以外立入禁止 means staff only, no entry. 関係者 is authorized people. 以外 is except. You are the excepted-from. Turn around and say すみません、間違えました.
