Both signs show two boys. This is most peculiar because people on road signs are always of both sexes if they come in pairs, and male if they walk alone (crossing signs). We have another less outspoken example from Pakistan and a sign with (you would think) two girls from Argentina. The signs also betray some indication about life in cities and on the country side. The Saigon find shows two boys in a nervous ready-set-go position waiting for a gap between two cars. Children of the country-side happy-go-lucky hit the road. |
