Children's crossing in Portugal

Lisboa; V.1998; pict. S. Visser Valença (Minho), VII.1999 Azores, V.1998; pict. S. Visser
 
The modern Portuguese sign is even more degenerated than the Spanish Y2K-kids and only slightly better than the French version. In fact, I didn't feel much like letting them in. But I did. Although I hate this iconized sign. Only because in the light of road-sign designs emitting old-style behaviour the girl has a surprisingly short skirt. The sign from Valença is much better. We have a similar sign from the Azores where the children signs are most interesting.

Observe how the hairdress of the girl is different, the boy has lost his face and how the drawing is less static.
