| Nederlands | Children's crossing in Cyprus |
| Cyprus is no destination for people loving a nicely drawn roadsign. Our first find from the Y2K (I'm still feeling the thrill of the bug) did not give any reason to happiness, but we cherished a tiny speck of hope. Not any more. | The first board features two weird creatures. Are we looking at a father with child and is the child trying to escape? Are we warned not to hit any extra-terrestrials? Who shall tell. |

| Our samples from 2007 aren't any better. The second board is reminescent of the sweet old fashioned signs of Europe (e.g. France, Austria) but the drawing is rather sloppy and something is terribly wrong with the boy's head. | The last sample is — because the bookbags are missing —
rather a pedestrian crossing than a children's crossing, but I show it
nevertheless because it hints where
Cyprus is heading to.
