Children's crossing on Saint Barthélemy

On this island of only 21 square kilometres our team came against two different children's crossing signs.

We are on territory under French influence. It's therefore hardly surprising that one of the finds comes from France where this modern drawing is omnipresent. The CIA factbook (2009) states that the island attracts labor from Brazil and Portugal. It's perhaps therefore —to make their guest workers feel more at home— that the second design was introduced. It comes straight from Portugal. Brazilian workers will appreciate the girl's skirt which ends high above the knee.
