The photo above shows a traffic policeman on duty in Lagos in the 1940s. Note the manual traffic control device in front of the policeman. A side of the device has the “Stop” on it, while the other side has the “Go on” on it. The traffic official rotates the device to indicate to motorists whether to stop or Go on.

Interesting innovation. Back then, only educated people drove vehicles and so could read the signs. The illiterates driving Dangote trucks, Danfo in Lagos and those Suzuki buses in Aba that look like sardine tins were nowhere to be found then. 18 Likes 1 Share |
