Am I the only one who cannot entertain the redundancy, circularity or tautology of such notices ? : Only approved credit cards accepted.

In the same way, at Luton Airport they say Smoking is strictly prohibited anywhere within the airport premises, except in designated smoking areas - so, smoking is not allowed, but, where it is allowed, it is allowed
Fathom my mind, if you like, as to why this irritates me, but it's just that they like using a lot of words to complicate a simple message :
You may only smoke in the smoking areas. You are not allowed to smoke anywhere else.
or
Smoking areas are provided in the airport. You may not smoke outside them.
I have since seen : Authorized parking only
For some reason, those who commission and erect these signs do not dare say No parking. Is that because cars parked in the grounds would appear to belie the assertion, or this mysterious search for the accuracy of assertions.
But, if they wanted that accuracy, why not favour? :
You may only park here with authorization
