I was told that they mean something that is funny to me...but I am ignorant of German culture and I don't know if it is correct or not. If someone could please provide me with the correct translation, it would be greatly appreciated
thanks

Roughly translated, it means "Do Not Block Exit".

It means don't block the exit (for cars--an exit for walkers is an "Ausgang"). It doesn't MEAN anything funny, it just SOUNDS funny. You know, the "fart" part.
Even funnier are the trams that say "Extrafahrt"! (At least they have them in Switzerland, don't know about Germany.) Or when someone wishes you a nice ride, "Gute Fahrt!"

It means: keep the exit free

It means: keep the exit free (do not block the exit).

Well, "ausfahrt" is exit.
"Freihalten" translates literally to "keep free."
