Our watchguard counters that, in his opinion, this is a stop-sign. He's usually right, but not now. I think that this is a Men-at-Work warning sign because
(a) it's rather foolish to let people halt below the top of a hill on a narrow road, and
(b) it's not a bus-stop because Tristan has a regular bus stop sign and
(c) that stretch of the road needed some maintenance and
(d) a working gauntlet was used.

We should have asked to make sure, but the whole male population was out fishing - It was a quiet and sunny day - and I've learned that you should never ask this kind of information from women (Monsieur Jean won't like this.)
