Tobago is Treasure Island for roadsign collectors. Few spots on the world kept so many good old
traffic signs alive. Two well behaving children (a boy and a girl) are walking on the pavement.
There is no rush, push nor pull. That's how we know the British when people are looking. And indeed,
we have found designs of the same family
in
Great Britain and also in
Mauritius.
The drawing is characterized by much detail going down to the individual kerbstones. Some of the rectangular signs still carry the old warning triangle. Newer versions feature the same
drawing but as a canvas the European triangle was choosen. I wonder for how long Trinidad & Tobago will
be strong enough to withstand the good-willing pressure of the American design group. The first cracks are surfacing already (see below).
