I have a dream. Burma will preside over next world roadsign convention. It will propose a resolution making it compulsory to
use only localized versions of common roadsigns. Under the new regulation it
will be prohibited to plant new match-stick signs and existing ones must be eradicated.
Burma will exercise its authority and proven experience to made it unanimously accepted.
This will end the trend towards roadsigns which put you on the wrong leg (as in Armenia) or need captions to
give them meaning (as in the U.S.). The U.S. won't ratify of course, but at least the situation in the former Sovjet block will improve (e.g. Russia, Kyrgyzstan).
Okay, back to reality.
The drawing shows a mother with offspring, not two children.
Did you notice that before I told you ? We have another mother in
Belize and a father from
Hungary and Israël and
that's it. Most often children hit the road unattended. |

The pedestrian signs are of the same high quality.
I won't elaborate because I don't do pedestrian signs (Alain Guët does.), but
it strikes me that whenever a pedestrian crossing is announced by one person only,
that always is a man or a match-stick, never a woman. |
