Can we tell which parcels are safer?

I haven't had a chance to fire up the new client yet. Is there any visible indication at all that you're standing on land that has push disabled, and that you're therefore somewhat safer there than on land where push works? Is there an indicator like the 'no-build' or 'damage enabled' icons?

Or do I have to keep clicking on the ground ahead of me and looking at 'about land' settings, like I am carefully probing the trail ahead of me in a combat zone with a wire, to detect land mines? Is there any way to detect that if I take another step, I might be entering a push-enabled, and maybe even damage-enabled, parcel? Is that information even visible to the normal Player, if they select 'about land'?

Is there any way yet to be assured, before I teleport to a location, that it is 'safe' from push weapons? Or that damage is not enabled there? I do not think there is, other than asking the land owner directly, via IM, prior to going to their property. Assuming, of course, that you know who the actual land owner is...

I made a feature suggestion in this thread, where I went into more detail on this thought. Official comment would be appreciated.

There isn't a menu bar icon as you describe, Ceera--currently it's in the About Land settings.

You can't check ahead either without being on the actual parcel.

We're aggregating a lot of feedback in this thread, which Cube Linden is actively monitoring:

Please put your goods in there. :)
