Definition
随地 is an adverb meaning 'anywhere' or 'everywhere', but it is nearly always used in negative commands or prohibitions — especially in public signs and polite requests — to forbid doing something 'at any place'. Think of fixed patterns like 不要随地… ('Don't … anywhere') or 请勿随地… ('Please don't … anywhere'). It is not a general-purpose substitute for 到处 or 任何地方.
