Throwback Thursday: Road code

With boards placed strategically on the ground to mark street kerbs, and striped mats denoting pedestrian crossings, the school courts have been converted into a city intersection for simulated traffic activities. The traffic officer at centre appears satisfied with the hand signals of the cyclist and the driver of pedal car 6.
